"Excellent Sherlock"
This narrative by Derek Jacobi adds to the delight of this excellent series of stories by the much loved Dr Watson. Highly recommended, a must for all Holmes fans.
"Delightful short stories"
Another great outing for Sherlock Holmes. Lots of great short stories from the master of deduction. Highly recommended if you want bitesize, intelligent adventures that exercise the mind. Excellently read by Derek Jacobi.
"A return to form"
As with the previous editions, Derek Jacobi once again does an amazing job of bringing Sherlock Holmes to life in this collection of stories, starting after Holmes supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls. Starting with Watsons' shoving discovery that Holmes is alive, the stories move along at an even pace. Well worth the money, and perfect to while away long journeys.
