Read by Eric Leach
Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character of the late 19th and early 20th century created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a brilliant London-based "consulting detective" famous for his intellectual prowess and renowned for his enormous scope of observation, his astute logical reasoning and forensic science skills in solving difficult crimes. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of Sherlock Holmes mysteries, including The Final Problem in which Holmes confronts his arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty, originally published in 1894, which are preceded by The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and followed by The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Reviews
Great book, if only Ruth Golding could read it, her set of skills made the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes the best audio book I have ever heard. This man is a decent linguist, however he lacks the quality and gentleness that Ruth introduced. He sounds as if he reading with a smile on his face even when Holmes is upset and his brows are deeply grave. A valiant effort on the readers part
NO ONE LIKE SHERLOCK
Avid Listener
The now familiar stories of the exploits of S H. The reading was extremely well done, but, despite what other reviewers have opined, the reading of Mark Smith (The Adventures of S H) is more enjoyable for one reason only--his voice is much more "Watson like." Both are a pleasure to hear.
Another exciting collection

I started with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and listened to this next. I expected a certain level of suspense and surprise at the way Holmes finds resolution for his Adventures, and I wasn't disappointed. I'll definitely buy a hard copy when I get the chance.
beautifully read by Eric Leach

I can only imagine the tumult and uproar raised by his devoted readers when Sir Arthur published His Last Bow. Even knowing it was not the end made my heart break to listen to the story..
a good book and a wonderful reader
Sherlock Holmes has always been my favourite detective. listening to this book was a wonderful experience. The reader is great at changing intimations and accents to suit the characters of this book well.
Sherlock Holmes is best detective in the world

Traveller
my only criticism is of personal taste I would have preferred a British voice but the read was very clear nevertheless. if only Benedict Cumberbatch would agree to record some for public domain!
good enough
the narrator's voice lacks a bit now and then in relaying character's personality but he speaks clearly and on the whole, well. as for the book, well of course its great!
