great stories

I enjoyed all of these stories. the narration was good except for the voice of Sherlock. for some reason the narrator would pause a couple of seconds after every word that Sherlock spoke. very irritating.

it's almost like reading Doyle himself . . . almost

Enjoyed these tales very much. Sherlockians will also enjoy the many "Easter Eggs" hidden in plain sight throughout. I'm sure I missed a few, perhaps more, that I hope to catch during my next listen.

not bad but not ACD

good easy listening. Stories not to deep but a little to light hearted for a good Holmes narrative.

many nested stories

I like the way the author packs each story with multiple coalescing storylines, so each tale is made of several. It seems like a spendthrift approach, tossing out so many story lines that other people would be happy to have just one of, but it makes for a rich narrative, a tour de force . . .

True Sherlock Holmes

Written and narrated in true Sherlockian style. After I’d Sir Arthur had handled it himself.
