Usually a collection of short stories by different authors would be difficult to review. However, the stories in this collection are all of a high standard and are all very intriguing. And at 21 and a half hours, it is very good value for money.

Very interesting and well written

I loved almost all of the stories and even though I had known some of them already, I enjoyed hearing them.
However, the speakers, were sometimes rather annoying. The weird and completely false pronunciation of Lestrade, Moriarty and other names made my toenails curl.
One story was supposed to be told by a an Italian women, but her accent sounded nowhere near Italian at all, more Eastern European.
There are more examples…
Better speakers would have made it way more enjoyable.

Good stories, annoying speakers
