Excellent Book!

Roger Riccard's collection of alphabetic Sherlock Holmes cases is excellent. The stories are well thought out and written skilfully. The stories tend to be a bit more Watson-centric than many other pastiches, which gives them an originality missing in many modern works of this type. The narration by Duncan Galloway is exceptional. Overall, this is a wonderful book that has me looking forward to Volume 2, whenever it may be available on Audible.

Love them!

I loved these! I hope the whole alphabet comes out in audio. I thought they were great!

Original new stories!

Excellent Holmes pastiche! I would highly recommend this anyone who is a Holmes fan. You will be pleased😀

Ok, but not great

Stories are ok but nothing really captivating. Narrator is good except his portrayal of Holmes. He makes him sound like a member of the royal family sometimes. With over emphasis on syllables and rolling “R”s in his speech. Made me cringe several times.
