Holmes fans know these stories but it is Edward Raleigh and his perfromance which sets this version apart from the others.

A Mortimer/McKern Pleasure

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 10-13-10

Leo McKern is Horace Rumple and this tale of 1970s counter-culture jurisprudence is a gem. As always, John Mortimer's stories may be about trials and the law but they are also about people and society. In this one, we get a look at WWII nostalgia and narcs with the same even handedness that Mortimer brings to all his stories. So join the "old fella" and enjoy the journey.

Pleasantly Disturbing

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 10-13-10

I purchased this audiobook years ago in cassette form and have waited for it to be reissued. Robin Bailey performs (rather than merely reads) each of these tales and brings them to life. From the creepy gothic story of "A Terribly Strange Bed" by Wilkie Collins to the truly disturbing tale of the peculiar painting in "The Mezzotint" by M.R. James these stories will keep you company and likely keep you awake at night. A gem not to be missed.
