About this listen

In the year 1903 - the exact moment is now lost to history - Sherlock Holmes proclaimed to the world he was quitting England's Capital to go into retirement on a small, wind-swept farm in the Sussex South Downs. His shocked comrade-in-arms Dr. John H. Watson was later to write, "The decision took me utterly by surprise. I thought I had become an institution around Holmes, like his Stradivarius, or the old, oily black clay pipe and his index books."

Reluctantly, Watson wrote up three recent cases yet unpublished and returned to his medical practice. Holmes's retirement didn't last long. Once more, his faithful Amanuensis Watson took up his pen - and his Army Service revolver. The result was three more of the most intriguing cases ever undertaken by the famous pair. All six adventures have now been brought together in this special edition.

Entertaining short Holmes and Watson stories

These are entertaining Holmes and Watson stories set in various times between the 1890's and 1916, the writing is excellent capturing the characters well, I particularly liked the ones set during WW1 but they are all of a high standard. Time Winters does an excellent job of the narration although pronouncing the "E" on the the end of Boche got a bit annoying and I have never heard Glasgow pronounced like that. Still the voices are good and the style worked with the stories, I received a complimentary copy of the Audio book and am leaving a honest voluntary review.
