Unopened Casebook disclosed
Solid stories, excellent performance and radio play scenes. Especially recommendable for a long cold or rainy evening.

A fine Holmes adventure.
On first coming across this title I had my doubts as to the attention to detail that would be paid to the original Holmes stories. However I found myself pleasently surprised as the stories, although short, are punchy ,well paced and full of the Holmes intrigue. Great performances from Henson and Callow and well written by John Taylor. more please!!

Very decent Holmes pastiche
Many writers have attempted to produce new tales of one of the world's most famous and instantly recognisable fictional characters, though, in fairness, his "hagiographer" Watson, is equally well-known, and probably more loved.
John Taylor has managed to capture Doyle's tone and style (even better with this series than with the Railway mysteries, IMO).
He seems to have researched the period adequately, considered the geography, and avoided stretching credibility any further than did ACD himself (which does leave fair leeway, but not as much as "Sherlock Holmes vs the Martians/Dracula/Burke & Hare/Sawnie Bean" or, this is in a book not of my invention, involved in orgies in the Vatican. (The Vatican cameos" rapidly returned to Audible) There have been times long ago, that this last would have been possible, but in Holmes' time the Popes weren't orgy-minded; as ridiculous to bad-mouth them on those grounds, as to construct a book on the basis that Trump suddenly found the Damascus road, resigned from White House, donated his filthy lucre to environmental charities and went off to do social work in poor communities in Mexico.
Simon Callow & Nicky Henson do a convincing job of Holmes and Watson, though I'm not sure SC could carry it off visually, since we're conditioned to recognise Holmes from illustrations, countless film/TV productions, and Simon Callow is also so utterly wellknown, not a lanky, aquiline nosed, impassive ascetic loner...

Not downloading despite all help from audible menus. I want my money back.
Awful service.
