Summary

There are hours of listening pleasure in The Legendary Detectives: 9 Classic Novelettes Starring the World's Greatest Super-Sleuths. You'll find gathered together a clutch of classic mysteries starring nine of the world's most famous fictional sleuths: The Thinking Machine, the Old Man in the Corner, Max Carrados, Morris Klaw, Sanders of the River, Reggie Fortune, Father Brown, Craig Kennedy, and, of course, the greatest and most famous of them all - Sherlock Holmes.   

The authors represented are equally legendary for their contributions to detective history: Edgar Wallace, Baroness Orczy, Jacques Futrelle, Arthur B. Reeve, Sax Rohmer, G. K. Chesterton, H. C. Bailey, Ernest Bramah, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Once the top-selling detective characters of mystery's Golden Age, the adventures of these legendary detectives have for the most part sadly lapsed out of prominence - yet, their names still echo as legends among mystery fans! This exclusive anthology edited by Jean Marie Stine and J. L. "Frankie" Hill brings a sampler of their adventures back for modern mystery fans.

9 very good strories.

The stories in this book are great examples of the works of the various authors included. I enjoyed the stories but the narrator to me was all wrong. It would have been 5 stars all round with a good male narrator.
