Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces—from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes—brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning. By his side is Dr. John Watson, his steadfast assistant and our trusty narrator. This set is a must-have for every discriminating bibliophile and Sherlock Holmes fan.

Would you listen to The Complete Sherlock Holmes again? Why?
Yes: the stories have always been of interest to me, and I like to revisit books from my childhood in the background while I'm doing other things; this would certainly be one of those.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
A great deal, I'm afraid. This version is better than the American-voiced alternative listed on Audible, but it's still full of minor errors (missed words, altered pronouns) and unexpected mispronunciations (I am assuming the narrator had never heard some of the affected words spoken before), and it's not unabridged, though I can imagine someone who had never read the paper version(s) might think it so. However, Vance does very well voicing Watson, Holmes and his clients, and is - as I've already said - far better than the previous Audible reader, in spite of his own problems.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
"The Dying Detective" always has some effect on me, while "The Yellow Face" always leaves me annoyed with Holmes' generally-cloaked misogyny - he may be a misanthrope, but he does often seem to direct it far more toward women than men, and when that comes out more noticeably it does irritate me. I suppose that counts as being moved in some way...!Any additional comments?
This should not be being sold as an "unabridged" version, whatever Brilliance Audio claim of it; it's quite far from being unabridged, as it has phrases left out of sentences in at least every other short story, and some entire sentences in the longer tales.Well voiced, but neither unabridged nor flawless.

I've enjoyed thoroughly through and through.
I'll be sad when I've finished and leave Sherlock's world.
Awsome
