About this listen
Winner of the 2014 Audie Award for Classics
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces—from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes—brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning. By his side is Dr. John Watson, his steadfast assistant and our trusty narrator. This set is a must-have for every discriminating bibliophile and Sherlock Holmes fan.

All brilliantly done - you can tell the different characters by the voicesAny additional comments?

If you could sum up The Complete Sherlock Holmes in three words, what would they be?
Beautiful, atmospheric, cosyWho was your favorite character and why?
The narrator is the best I have heard, he brings Sherlock Holmes to life so very very well.Which character – as performed by Simon Vance – was your favourite?
This is the best narration I have heard on audible yet, Im not joking, his Sherlock is damn near perfect!If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Spooky, cosy and entirely indulgent!Any additional comments?
If you are wavering like I did, read all the other reviews, I agree entirely that this is a fantastic performance that had me constantly longing for the next story. They are short stories which are perfect for commutes and folk like me, sat outside of martial arts, drama, football waiting for kids! Guarantees that regular smile at the end of a story over and over.Perfect if you don't feel like a long, heavy audible listen, each new chapter is refreshing and like a whole new audible book You can probably tell... I LOVED ITThis book is amazing value for 1 credit

It is remarkable that whatever format you experience the Sherlock Holmes stories they are still a thumping good yarn, with bags of atmosphere and character. Will we ever tire of them?!This is a terrific 58 hour audiobook - and a snip at the price. Simon Vance does a terrific job - and doesn't not over act or "ham up" his performance. However - despite this being called "The complete Sherlock Holmes" I only seem to have 42 short stories and 4 novels - not the 56 short stories and 4 novels that were written. Either my download had a problem - or this isn't really The *Complete* Sherlock Holmes. I am therefore forced to take off one star in the "Overall" category. (Apologies if the explanation for the missing stories was merely a technical problem from my end.)
I much enjoyed this version, but my view, remains that the best audio version ever made was by the BBC, featuring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson. Together they recorded all the stories in the canon between 1989 and 1998. Alas, I only have it on cassette tape, so it's very inconvenient for me to listen to these days. This version is a delightful and convenient alternative.
Excellent - much enjoyed!

Brilliant Narration!

Narrator was excellent, bringing individual characters to life and making it easy to discern the back and forth between Holmes and Watson. As well as thrill and mystery, there's a generous slosh of humour to be had in the writing. This was deftly voiced, so I frequently found myself laughing out loud. :) To those embarking, enjoy!
Sensational!
