Summary

Sir Ian McKellen was the winner of the BBC Audio Drama Award 2015 for Best Actor in an Audio Drama (for Eugenie Grandet)

Sir Ian McKellen reads The Valley of Fear, the last of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's four Sherlock Holmes novels.

The mystery begins with a coded warning of imminent danger, drawing the illustrious Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr. Watson to a secluded English country home. A trail of bewildering clues leads to sleuthing in the finest Holmesian tradition and the gripping backstory of a cult that terrorized a valley in the American West.

First broadcast as Book at Bedtime on BBC Radio 4.

Yet again the master succeeds

You can take it either way the author or the narrator- or both I am a fan of both so for me yet another double win!

Honestly, when life gets a bit much, there is nothing so good as an audible book. I don’t have to read or find my page & I can still enjoy a good tale whilst walking working or whatever. & best of all I can look through my library & revisit past books. My mood improves just thinking about it. I can never fully remember all the intricacies of a good Conan Doyle story

McKellen the Master

I loved Sir Ian’s reading of this Holmes story. So well suited to it. His voice is incredible and so distinguished.
Very highly recommended and definitely well worth five stars.
