About this listen

This is a story from the The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes III collection.

In this collection are four more individual cases for Mr. Sherlock Holmes, narrated by his faithful friend and admirer Dr. Watson. They dive into the opium dens of London in "The Man with the Twisted Lip," recall the curious history of "The Musgrave Ritual," come face to face with the grisly evidence contained in "The Cardboard Box," and go on a wild-goose chase in "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle." The powers of Sherlock Holmes prevail.

Editor reviews

There is a link between a missing gentleman with a secret vocation and a beggar living on the second floor of an opium den near the docks. What seems at first an open-and-shut case of murder will be better understood by Sherlock Holmes as a connection of an intimate nature to be kept secret…on one condition. David Timson, who has taken on an incredible array of roles since winning a BBC student prize for radio drama in 1971, entertains and delights with his performance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous literary creation and all the other characters in this selection from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 3.
