Story
In The Sign of Four, the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, famously says: "... when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth ...". Eliminate the Impossible collects six canonical tales in which Holmes and Watson encounter mummies, angels, phantoms, invisible assassins, and arcane machines ... or so it might appear to those without a carefully stocked brain attic.

Story
Holmes and Watson were supposed to be on vacation of sorts amongst the Cornish greenery and archaeological treasures, since it had become clear enough that the pressure of the detective’s investigations had taken a toll on his nerves, and a few days away from London in the country was prescribed. But their excursion was rudely interrupted when murders most heinous came to light. The so-called Devils’ Foot was a deadly substance of unknown origin that kills when inhaled.

But the variety of styles and subject matter is interesting. I was especially moved by the story of Holmes as suffering from dementia.
However, I detest the way the reader voices Watson. He sounds like he has a mouthful of gravel. Ugh!
But it is still a fun listen.
A bit uneven, but still a good listen

"Volume 2 of 'Tales from the Stranger's Room' by David Ruffle, narrated by Charles Featherstone, is a delightful exploration into the world of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. This audiobook is more than just an anthology; it's a captivating journey through short stories and poems from a diverse array of talented authors, many of whom are making their debut in this volume. The result is a collection that is both quirky and fun, offering a range of emotions from laughter to tears and numerous flights of fancy.
Charles Featherstone's narration is nothing short of exceptional. His skillful delivery brings each story to life with a perfect blend of tone, pace, and expression. Featherstone's ability to capture the essence of the characters, from the astute Holmes to the ever-loyal Watson, adds an immersive quality to the listening experience. His voice carries the weight of suspense, humor, and drama in equal measure, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish.
One standout piece in this volume is 'A Case of Creation' by Jane Smith, where Holmes and Watson find themselves entangled in a mystery while on holiday in Scotland. The encounter with Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation adds a fascinating twist to the traditional Holmesian narrative. Another gem is 'The Adventure of the Gold-Engraved Box,' a tale of mystery and intrigue where Mrs. Hudson is thrust into a perilous situation. Featherstone's narration skillfully navigates the twists and turns of these stories, maintaining the suspense and delivering the cleverly crafted dialogue with finesse.
'Replacements' by Paula Trott presents a unique challenge for Holmes as criminals vandalize 221B, destroying Watson's medical kit and Holmes' violin. Featherstone's narration captures the urgency and intensity of the situation, enhancing the overall impact of the narrative. 'The Magic of Music' by David Rowbottom introduces an unexpected guest at Baker Street, and Featherstone's portrayal of the lady who plays the piano adds a layer of charm to the story.
Even in the poetic realm, Featherstone's narration shines. 'Cold' by Jane Stuart, a chilling poem where the Abominable Mrs. Ricoletti seeks revenge, is delivered with a haunting quality that enhances the atmospheric elements of the piece. In 'The Grave Dilemma,' Featherstone masterfully portrays Watson's encounter with a special young woman, adding emotional depth to the narrative.
'Tales from the Stranger's Room Volume 2' is a must-listen for any Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, and Charles Featherstone's narration elevates the entire experience. With a perfect balance of enthusiasm and respect for the source material, Featherstone's performance enhances the audiobook, making it a truly immersive and enjoyable journey into the world of Holmes and Watson. I enthusiastically give this audiobook five stars plus, with just a few minor duds that are easily overshadowed by the overall brilliance of the collection and Featherstone's exceptional narration."
