The Untold Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

De: Luke Benjamen Kuhns

Narrado por: Joff Manning

In the year 1933, an elderly Dr. John Watson is looking back over his life and his time spent with his brilliant friend and master of deduction Sherlock Holmes. He writes in a letter to the listener that he has assembled a list of seven untold adventures that span from his and Sherlock's early years until the time of Sherlock's retirement. Watson explains that he wishes to leave, not only his family, but the public with a final compilation of adventures that he and Sherlock shared while he is still able.

In these seven stories, Holmes and Watson are caught in the middle of multiple Government Scandals (Acquitted Client & Diamond Jubilee) cold blooded murders (Poisoned Affair & Saint Mary's Murder) and Terrorist groups (The Yellow Handkerchief). As well Holmes and Watson come face to face the spirits of darkness (The Haunted Hotel) and in a story that works through over a decade of Holmes's cases, we learn the truth about Watson's marital life and what happened to his wife Mary after Holmes's apparent death at Reichenbach (The Solved Problem).

These Untold Adventures of Sherlock Holmes will engage Holmes fans from all over, and will bring them deeper into the world of Sherlock Holmes and the complexities within.

short stories

I received free code for this book.
Really enjoyed the stories presented, a great collection. The narration was excellent, and fitted well with the teller of the stories, Dr Watson.

More Stories!

Doctor Watson now elderly, decides to tell some of the stories he would not disclose till all concerned had past away and no harm would occur upon their release. Some of the stories are a bit darker than usual. Loved them!

VERY nice find. Close to Doyle's style & content.

Enjoyed very much. I liked the short-story format so reminiscent of most of the Holmes Canon. I do so tire of the novel-length tales spun by so many of those attempting to bring us more of Watson & Holmes. Oh, many are very good. exciting adventures, which I also enjoy. However change the names & the story is the same, good detective fiction. However, that would not be possible with the seven, as each I'd entirely dependent on the true character of John & Sherlock. I hope there will be many more to come, as I look forward to the next set.

Very good collection of short stories

A pastiche wrote in the traditional style, a collection of good stories based in great ideas, some of them greatly executed, others... not so much :P

I particularly enjoyed 'The Solved Problem' which deals with Mary Watson's death and 'The Adventure of the Haunted Hotel'

A writer to keep an eye on.

Excellent

A very well writing book that Sir A C Doyle would have enjoyed. One the most enjoyable off shoots of Holmes and Watson. 30+. years of reading and listening to Holmes stories.
