The best Sherlock Holmes story in my opinion and read by the best narrator in my opinion. Would give 10+ stars if possible.

Great work!

What a literary surprise and a twist from Doyle! Worthy chapter to end the line

recommend!

(4 stars)

Not his best reading (echo-y recording), some noise in background including text messages and a frustrated sigh, but still I highly recommend this version! He really makes the characters come alive!

A stunning read

once again hats off to Mr David Clarke. You never disappoint to transport me into the heart of the story. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift with us.

I love David Clarke's Sherlock readings. He has a gift for giving the characters distinct voices so we know who is speaking without getting to hammy or exaggerated about it loke other readers often do. Plus very relaxing voice. A few places where the recording quality is bot the best, but still get five stars; it's a volunteer project, not a pro recording studio, and I like this guy's reading so much that it doesn't even matter.

Great again.

Written by a genius and preformed by a master! Thanks again Mr. Clarke, for a wonderful experience.

good story

(4 stars)

while Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels are not my favorite, this one held some surprising twists. I give it only 4 stars because sometimes the quality of the recording is less than par
