Summary

From the curious clauses in a miser’s will, to a plea for help on a tiny scrap of paper, these six cases, from the early years of Holmes’s career in the 1880s, present a singular collection of mysteries for the world’s first consulting detective to resolve.

What is the significance of the arrival in the post one morning of a cardboard packet of children’s bricks? Who is the man found dying in a deserted warehouse in London’s East End, and what is he doing there? Why have the names of a couple of young honeymooners been removed from a hotel register? Sherlock Holmes must find the answers to these and many other puzzling questions if he is to bring these cases to a successful conclusion. In this new collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories, well-known author, Denis O. Smith, accurately recreates once more both the atmosphere and the excitement of Conan Doyle’s well-loved original Holmes tales.

For any fan great narration

I love Sherlock Holmes stories and this collection of audios is not only great fun but also beautifully narrated and just what I needed on a wet and miserable day. I love that the stories are short so you can dip in and out as you wish during the day.

Really enjoyable stories

I don't listen to a lot of short stories as I'm not always a fan, but these were great. Just the right length and mystery to get involved in the story and outcome. The stories took Sherlock Holmes to a number of locations to solve different mysteries in his own unique style. The stories were really well narrated and suited the characters.

incompetent pastiche

The Conan Doyle voice is evidently more inimitable than we knew. Where these misbegotten stories are faithfully "Holmesian", they are trite. Did you bring your trusty revolver, Watson? etc When this tribute act smuggles its own novelties in between the beloved hits, things get hacky. The final story in particular is folly from the start, and folly all the way through. And ends in folly, too.

Narrator gave Holmes Watson's voice & vice versa. Inept.
