Critic reviews

"Alison Larkin embodies the troubled protagonist in a naïve and haunting performance" (AudioFile Magazine)

"Devotees of Sherlock Holmes may find this complex novella a delight as narrated by Clive Hayward - both narrators are skilled and precise." (AudioFile Magazine)

I'm a long-standing SH fan and have read and listened to this classic tale many times, however I have never heard it read as well as this version (and that includes the wonderful Stephen Fry's!). Clive Hayward superbly and expertly plays all the characters and delivers the story in such a way as to take you back to the time that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned the adventure. I have listened to books by this narrator before, so my expectations were high, but he has surpassed them with this one. I also enjoyed the attached short story ready by Alison Larkin. PLEASE can we hear some more Sherlock Holmes stories read by Clive Hayward! I'd buy them in an instant!

Sherlock Holmes fans - this is a must-listen!
