Sublime to hear Alan Cumming presenting Holmes in this odd, short tale by Arthur Conan Doyle. The tale is laid out and then rises to the dramatic climax with the thief recounting. Very good.

Oh that Alan!

A great narration was provided by a great actor. I had a pipe along side as I listened just as Me. Holmes would. I recommend this reading to anyone.

Great narrator, classic story and wonderful music.

Alan Cummings narration of this classic Sherlock Holmes case is outstanding. Many of us have read the Original Sherlock Holmes cases by Arthur Conan Doyle. This short but quick moving case is Doyle at his best. But this performance makes it new. Cummings makes it come alive before your eyes. Cumming’s accents are perfect. Unlike many narrators, he uses vocal inflection, varied volume and as appropriate, believable emotion to perform the tale. Well done sir.

Holmes, Doyle, and Cummings are the top of the mark
