Bravo!!!

This was an outstanding visit to the Surrey Downs, and an interesting explanation for why Sherlock Holmes retired at such a relatively young age. There are also a few interesting conceits that I won’t spoil for the listener.

The narrator was simply amazing. He made me believe I was listening to a full cast recording rather than a one man show. He never misread or mispronounced any words that I noticed. I just sank back into the tale, and enjoyed myself.

This is clearly part of a longer story arc, though it stands quite well on its own.

Listen and enjoy!

misdirection

The book was very short and was able to flow nicely; with a framework of historical events, of even provided some facts that have been buried in time.

Enjoy!

Another good Sherlock Holmes story from David Marcum. A glimpse of Holmes’ life after “retirement.” Narrator was awesome!!

Entertaining story

The Adventure of the Missing Link by David Marcum is an good short story. The story explains the reasons for Sherlock Holmes’ retirement and other comings and goings. The narration by Michael Langan is great. He brings the characters and story to life.
