A colonel receives five seeds in the mail---and dies within weeks. A young bride disappears immediately after her wedding. An old hat and a Christmas goose are the only clues to a stolen jewel. A son is accused of his father's murder. These mysteries---and many more---are brought to the house on Baker Street where detective Sherlock Holmes resides. No case is too tricky for the world's most famous sleuth and his incredible powers of deduction. This gripping collection includes many of the famous cases---and great strokes of brilliance---that make the legendary detective one of fiction's most popular creations.

Sorry Derek Jacobi, but Simon Prebble's Holmes and Watson voices are far superior - he is excellent

Simon Prebble is the best Sherlock Holmes Narrator

Any additional comments?

The stories of Sherlock Holmes always fascinated me, but only recently I started reading this book properly to start with. The book was great and very easy to read. However when I discovered the audible and tried it on this book, it's an amazing experience! Simon's voice is perfectly suited for Sherlock Holmes stories and he did a fantastic job!! I can't imagine anyone else can do a better job than him. Highly recommended!!

Great stories told by great narrator

Narrator Simon Prebble captures the spirit of Victorian Britain in this audio version of Conan Doyle's classic tales. The cadence of his voice adds to the suspension in the various stories, and adds a real depth to the twists when they inevitably appear during the final chapters. Much recommended for listening in bite sized chunks, such as short commutes.

A classic rendition of the famous stories
