(4.6 stars; 923 reviews)

Having left Sherlock Holmes apparently deceased at the conclusion of The Final Problem (in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes), we now find that he is alive after all! In this collection, first published in 1905, the great detective causes Watson to faint (The Empty House), demonstrates that cryptography is elementary (The Dancing Men), and gets engaged (Charles Augustus Milverton). Join in the fun as Holmes deduces his way through these thirteen adventures. (summary by Laurie Anne Walden)

Reviews

Great stories, beautifully read.

(5 stars)

This set of 12 stories was read by several different people. Each did justice to these wonderful stories. They were the perfect length for my daily commute & helped to make a normally frustrating time most enjoyable.

The adventure of Abbey Grange is fantastic

(4 stars)

Since each adventure is read by a different person, the sound and reader's quality changes much. The duo behind "the adventure of Abbey Grange" is formidable, but some of the others are not as good.

pretty good

(4.5 stars)

The readers could do better, but overall, pretty good. The plots are not as scary as, say the hound of the baskervilles, (which I recommend, version three) but I didn't see these turnouts of the mysteries coming and I enjoyed it

wonderful for a long journey

(4.5 stars)

I downloaded this audiobook set for my trip to Oakland from Los Angeles. I enjoyed each story and it helped make the 5.5 hours go by faster.

The return of sherlock holmes

(5 stars)

Loved the readers accents and liveliness! The only flaw is the woman who read with canaries squawking in the background. All in all a wonderful listen.

Pretty good.....?

(3.5 stars)

The reading was pretty good, though a couple read too fast. I figured out the stories before they were over, as is usually the case when I read Sherlock Holmes, but overall pretty good. It could be redone.

same sherlock tales, good reading.

(4 stars)

I really enjoyed a few of these stories as the brought up some interesting points and twists. but most of them were the same old same old and I guess I am getting tired of sherlock stories maybe because I was figuring them out to fast and easy. the readers did a fine job. only 2 readers made me dislike the audio. one had a lot of background noise and the other had bad quality, like a doubling of the voice. but over all a good few days of listening.
