About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

As a dense yellow fog swirls through the streets of London, a deep melancholy has descended on Sherlock Holmes, who sits in a cocaine-induced haze at 221B Baker Street. His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed young woman - Mary Morstan, whose father vanished 10 years before.

Four years later, she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous pearl.

Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation - which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair - even the jaded Holmes is moved to exclaim, 'Isn't it gorgeous!'

Profile Image for Prof P. M. King

Eccleston not a good reader!

I was disappointed by Eccleston, a professional actor’s, wooden performance. Basic mispronunciations, such as “advertisement” and “Thaddeus”, as well as no attempt to distinguish voices, demonstrated his sad lack of range. It is impossible to ignore that one is listening to someone reading aloud like a school child. He should stick to what he does best!
