Benedict Cumberbatch reads these four new Sherlock Holmes stories by John Taylor: 'An Inscrutable Masquerade', 'The Conundrum of Coach 13', 'The Trinity Vicarage Larceny' and 'The 10.59 Assassin'.

Inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories, John Taylor has written four more mysteries featuring the world's greatest detective.

Read by acclaimed actor Benedict Cumberbatch, these new adventures share all the suspense of the original tales.

In a drawer in his bureau, Dr. Watson keeps a locked cedarwood chest - a 'box of secrets'.

It contains an archive of notes referring to some of Holmes' cases that, for one reason or another, never saw the light of day. Now, for the first time, Watson has decided to reveal the truth to the world....

In these four thrilling stories, Holmes experiments with the science of ballistics, locates some missing gold bullion, investigates the theft of a large amount of money and solves the baffling mystery of the Stovey murder.

Perfect

I feel bad having given other narrators 5 stars, since Cumberbatch soars above them.
One tiny error that Sherlock would doubtless have noticed: Cumberbatch is doing the voice of an American, and pronounces the word schedule with no K sound. I may deduce that the editors and producers were also Brits since they didn't catch it ; )
Stories are fine with a fair degree of verisimilitude to Conan Doyle's works.

Fantastic narration

I am a long-time fan of Sherlock Holmes stories. This set of 4 short stories does not disappoint. I can easily picture Holmes, Watson, LeStrade, et al, as they investigate the crimes and deduce the truth. Benedict Cumberbatch was wonderful as the narrator.

Sherlock Holmes rides again!
