About this listen

Sherlock Holmes has received a call for help from an old friend. The Reverend Barring-Gould, noted parson and folklorist, wants Holmes to investigate some strange sightings. When Mary Russell realises where their search will take them, however, her blood runs cold. A ghostly coach and giant dog have been glimpsed on Dartmoor - the chilling landscape of the Hound of the Baskervilles. As Holmes and Russell work through a challenging tangle of evidence, gossip, and legend to uncover the truth, the grey mystery of the moor swirls around them. Narrator Jenny Sterlin voices the irascible Holmes and the scholarly Russell with such authenticity that their remarkable affection and intellectual energy fill the air.

Back to Baskerville Hall

I preferred this to Book 3 but not up there with books 1 & 2.

Jenny Sterlin did a marvelous job voicing the different characters. I particularly liked Reverend Barring-Gould. The story itself was average though.

The Moor

I do like the story line of her books but I think Holmes should be narrated by a man Jenny’s attempt at a suitable voice for Holmes falls somewhat short of what one expects. Plus I can’t understand, considering they are now a married couple, why they continue to address each other by their Sir names and not by their first names? I can’t believe that calling each other by their first names would not add strength to their union. I realise that Holmes and Dr Watson addressed each other by their last names but that was a relationship between colleagues not husband and wife.
I know they are only small issues but I found this and Holmes voice to be enough to put me off future purchases in this series. ( if there are any further episodes in the series )
I hope this Laurie to consider a different narrator or even a duo of male and female readers. Plus allow the main characters to address each other like most other couples do. It all sounds too aloof and unnecessary.
