Good Audiobook

Story was great as ever and told by a brilliant narrator. The only thing is some of the recordings for each chapter are a bit mixed up - there was a couple of times where two chapters were recorded in one chapter with no recording for the next (as it was already in the chapter before).

Brilliant

You know Sherlock Holmes. You've seen adaptations on TV, you know his stories. But, listening/reading the books is just wonderful. By reading, you gain a deeper understanding of Holmes, of Watson, of Victorian England and Derek Jacobi is an amazing narrator. He is perfect for the job. Also, by reading some of the books you get the added bonus of the second part of the story which gives you the background to the current case. So even though you may be familiar with the stories, have a listen and instead of being preoccupied with 'who done it' (cos you probably know already), enjoy the journey and allow Holmes to lead you there in his own unique way.
