Excellent Book!

Roger Riccard's collection of alphabetic Sherlock Holmes cases is excellent. The stories are well thought out and written skilfully. The stories tend to be a bit more Watson-centric than many other pastiches, which gives them an originality missing in many modern works of this type. The narration by Duncan Galloway is exceptional. Overall, this is a wonderful book that has me looking forward to Volume 2, whenever it may be available on Audible.

Ok, but not great

Stories are ok but nothing really captivating. Narrator is good except his portrayal of Holmes. He makes him sound like a member of the royal family sometimes. With over emphasis on syllables and rolling “R”s in his speech. Made me cringe several times.
