I've caught three "references" to Sherlock Holmes in this book so far. Are you a fan of Sherlock, Posie? :-)

Not very thrilling stories, I'm afraid. Okay to listen to while doing something else.

Worth a try if you like a certain actor's voice. He does great impressions in this one, some of which are very funny and had me laughing out loud :-)

Having read only one Arthur Conan Doyle story (A Study in Scarlet) I'm not overly familiar with the canon or style of his writing. I have recently become interested in reading his works after watching the first three seasons of the BBC's Sherlock. When I came across this audiobook at the library and saw that it was read by Benedict Cumberbatch, I snapped it up. It was a good diversion to listen to it while doing mundane chores around the house. I didn't have to concentrate too much on the plots of the four short stories, and could simply enjoy the sound of Benedict's voice and the many accents he adopts while reading them. The stories themselves are okay-to-good, and seem to me in keeping with ACD's style. I look forward to reading more of the "real thing".

As Arthur would say, "That was brilliant". Sad to reach the end of this hilarious series. I'm not sure all of the tears rolling out of my eyes as I listened to the last episode were from only laughing so hard. I will miss the crew of MJN Air, but I guess I can always listen again.
