I had a lot of fun listening to these. They're very atmospheric, and I'm looking forward to the next Sherlock Holmes book.

This Made Me a Sherlock Holmes Fan

The book describes 10+ cases rather than the original 1 for each book. I prefer this format because the cases aren't so everwhealming.
Narrator was cool so yeah

Classic Sherlock Holmes--everyone knows the stories but with Derek Jacobi's performance they are fresh and entertaining. Excellent for family road trips.

This man only needs to open his mouth to know whatever comes out will be phenomenal! I’ve always loved Sherlock Holmes, but he made it come to life.

I’ve heard all these stories before but I loved the way he spoke

Voices of different character are not discerned in some stories. Good stories. Overall good. Ok.

This is a collection of short stories about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, so it does not contain stories like the Hound of the Baskervilles. Each story is about an hour long. The speaker does a great job with the voices and really makes me feel like I am in 19th century England.

Great Story, Great Voice

Derek Jacobi delivers Sherlock in fantastic form, the adventures seem short to begin with but as you get further into the book the stories get longer and more involved, which is quite a stroke of genius by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. the audio presentation sounds very authentic and as sherlock should be (I still only ever picture sherlock as jeremy brett), I would recommend this version of the adventures over any others.

Elementary!
