Summary
Clive Merrison stars as Holmes with Michael Williams as Watson in these 12 adventures from the unique, fully dramatised BBC canon of Conan Doyle's short stories and novels.
The 12 dramatisations are 'The Illustrious Client', 'The Blanched Soldier', 'The Mazarin Stone', 'The Three Gables', 'The Sussex Vampire', 'The Three Garridebs', 'The Problem of Thor Bridge', 'The Creeping Man', 'The Lion's Mane', 'The Veiled Lodger', 'Shoscombe Old Place' and 'The Retired Colourman'.
These short stories are the very last ones written by Arthur Conan Doyle about his much-loved fictional detective. Holmes and Watson are faced with cases that range from the suspicious to the seemingly supernatural, and they encounter characters as diverse as an evil Austrian adventurer, a formidable female criminal, a distinguished professor who is acting oddly and a mysterious tenant who refuses to show her face.
Gripping, suspenseful and hugely entertaining, these acclaimed dramatisations were adapted by Bert Coules from the original short stories. Among the guest cast are Hannah Gordon, Robert Glenister, Michael Troughton, Alexandra Bastedo, Harriet Walter, Douglas Henshall and George Cole.

impossible to navigate
I have nearly all the Sherlock Holmes audio collections, but this is the worst. Literally a collection of 160+ chapters, with no titles at all. it is impossible to choose a story to listen to, with each chapter being around 3 mins. cannot believe they allow this to be charged full price. completely useless, and I have not been able to listen to more than one story as cannot find my place again.

Good dramatisations, sloppy editing
Twelve individual episodes, helpfully divided up by Audible not into 12 individual chapters but into hundreds, each about two minutes long. What on earth?
But these are very good adaptations with an excellentcast

The Best Holmes
Clive Merrison is repeatedly overlooked on pollsfor best Sherlock Holmes. The audios are without doubt the best adaptations of Doyle's stories

Excellent Performances
Classic Conan Doyle stories beautifully performed by an outstanding cast. But, once again, the decision into chapters is inept and annoying. Chapters lasting 2 minutes and 38seconds, 4 minutes and 16 seconds etc. B****y infuriating!

A fitting end.
A wonderful end to the dramatised short stories. The writers, and especially Bert Coules, managed to take these stories, some of which were far from Conan Doyle's best, and enthused them with life, wit and drama. The Lion's Mane was a particular favourite. Merrison and Williams, are up there with the best for their portrayals of Holmes and Watson.

Audible app review of Sherlock Holmes
First off, I love these Sherlock Holmes radio plays and would highly recommend them but for the atrocious Audible app they're on.
I'm new to Audible and, frankly was expecting a much better app than what is offered considering the Amazon brand and the money behind it. I am seriously disappointed. I would have thought there would be more features. Audible offers not just books but radio plays and to not have the plays named within the 'book' is ridiculous.
I am so disappointed with this Audible app 'book'. There are to many 'chapters' and no way to know where one play starts or stops. None of the chapters are named, there is no way to create a playlist of a single play within the 'book'. You have to check the shop info for the story titles.
I doubt very much I'll continue after the offer period and my 3 credits. So very disappointed.

Great audio book
I love to this audiobook. Obviously a great storyline the only thing that I found a little annoying worth some of the foreign accents leaving a lot to be desired.
