Editorial reviews

In Sherlock Holmes and the Copycat Murders, grandfatherly British narrator David Ian Davies ably performs the role of the iconic fictional detective and his famous partner, Dr. Watson, and deftly transports the listener back in time to the foggy streets of turn-of-the-century London. There, a series of gruesome murders with a similar modus operandi all attempt to frame none other than Holmes himself!

It is yet another riddle-wrapped-within-an-enigma case for our Sherlock to somehow crack and solve. But this time, it’s personal.

I do love Sherlock stories, but the voice for Sherlock was grading on my ears. it was for me anyway not what I have been accustomed to hearing. The story line very good.

The voice of Sherlock Holmes

Glad I had Audible plus so I could listen for free

I enjoyed the narrator- he was a perfect Watson

The first “mystery” is so simple that the characters must be morons to not figure it out

If you can get past that, the second mystery is more convoluted and holds the interest better

Decent read for free

The narrator was so bad he took away from my ability to follow the story. From his terrible inflection/accent of Watson to awkward overdone laughter it was painful to listen to.

Narrator terrible

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I thought the storyline was good but the editing of the audio was awful. The performance was good but whoever put it together was trash lol

Great Sherlock Option

I noticed early on that the reader made the story feel rushed. It was hard to follow with the characters sounding somewhat the same. Again, it wasn’t bad for free, but wouldn’t have paid to read it.

Ok for a free read

Not my #1 choice mostly due to the horrible accents, but better than some of the others.

C+ Version of Sherlock

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The pauses in the sentences were random and confusing. This required quite a bit of concentration on the part of the listener. If one’s first language is not English, this narration would severely injure the listener’s understanding and enjoyment.

The pace of the narration was confusing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The voice of Watson was pretty good. The voices of the Holmes brothers were way too effeminate.

Performance voices questionable

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I generally like Mr Davies voice and rapid delivery, but for Holmes and especiallyWatson, it was too much. I slowed the audio speed to .9 and it was so much better.

Slowed the Speed
