Story
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close - the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. When "The Final Problem" was first published, the struggle between Holmes and his arch nemesis, seemingly to the death, left many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but it also led to his immortality as a literary figure.

It was then that her sister suddenly died. Now she lives in the same room her sister vacated, and last night, the whistle sounded again…

Not Holmes
What didn’t you like about Peter Batchelor’s performance?
The reading of these classic tales is very poorly done. Monotonous; with no break between stories. This may, in part, have more to do with the publishing of the work that the actual delivery.
