A classic rendition of the famous stories
Narrator Simon Prebble captures the spirit of Victorian Britain in this audio version of Conan Doyle's classic tales. The cadence of his voice adds to the suspension in the various stories, and adds a real depth to the twists when they inevitably appear during the final chapters. Much recommended for listening in bite sized chunks, such as short commutes.

Great stories told by great narrator
Any additional comments?
The stories of Sherlock Holmes always fascinated me, but only recently I started reading this book properly to start with. The book was great and very easy to read. However when I discovered the audible and tried it on this book, it's an amazing experience! Simon's voice is perfectly suited for Sherlock Holmes stories and he did a fantastic job!! I can't imagine anyone else can do a better job than him. Highly recommended!!

Simon Prebble is the best Sherlock Holmes Narrator
Sorry Derek Jacobi, but Simon Prebble's Holmes and Watson voices are far superior - he is excellent
