The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close - the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. When "The Final Problem" was first published, the struggle between Holmes and his arch nemesis, seemingly to the death, left many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but it also led to his immortality as a literary figure. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself - on a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house - as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother, Mycroft.

Included in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are "Silver Blaze", "The Yellow Face", "The Stock-Broker's Clerk", "The Gloria Scott", "The Musgrave Ritual", "The Reigate Puzzle", "The Crooked Man", "The Resident Patient", "The Greek Interpreter", "The Naval Treaty", and "The Final Problem".

The stories in this collection aren't as strong as some of the others I've read but still entertaining.
The narration is fine but I feel he goes for a reserved Holmes but comes away sounding a little stiff and wooden.

Good but not great

I've never read the sherlock stories. This reading was like visiting an old friend. the narrator's voice was inviting, friendly, and a pleasure to listen to. I liked the way he pronounced all the French flawlessly. I will look for more of his performances. Thank you for a wonderful read.

what a delightful visit

These Holmes stories are consistently good, having been published in 1893, I believe, and enduring the test of time. The narrator is easy to listen to and does a good job overall with the many different characters.

Great stories, quality narration

Greatly enjoyed Simon Prebble’s dramatization of the Memoirs. A prior review stated that the tale of the Final Problem was missing. Listened to the intro of all chapters, and the Final Problem might have been added back in. Very good performance. Easy to separate all of Doyle’s hats tees with Prebble’s excellent rapid fire narration. Either great editing, but more likely Prebble’s excellent practiced narration.

The Final Problem Episode is Chapter 11

This edition of the book that I downloaded in May of 2012 does include "The Final Problem."

It seems to follow the 1894 American book edition, in that "The Cardboard Box" is *not* included, and several paragraphs of that story are inserted into "The Resident Patient." You can see the Wikipedia entry for the most singular circumstances surrounding the publication.

Does include "The Final Problem."
