Great set of Sherlock Holmes stories!

I enjoyed the set of Sherlock Holmes stories in Dead Ringers by Robert Perret. The writing was solid and the mysteries stories were very entertaining. The narration by Michael Langan was great. He performed each character with a unique voice and did a wonderful job!

A fantastic collection

Well, this was a wonderful collection of stories, covering an extended timeline and a varied type of cases.

There is a story from when Holmes still lived in Montague Street and we get to see the first meeting between him and Lestrade, and quite a few happening after His Last Bow; we have some stories, like 'The Gnarled Beeches', that are follow-ups from canon ones and others completely originals but still faithful in characterization and style to the Conan Doyle's.

Great writing, solid mysteries and believable secondary characters, this is a treat for those who love Holmes and Watson.

An okay collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches

I find it hard to be critical about Sherlock Holmes pastiches, but it is harder to get enthusiastic about this collection. There are a couple of bullseyes and many more misfires. Even the narration was mediocre at best. Holmes is read with a very nasally voice which distracts rather than engages. No high marks on this audiobook.
