The last collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories contains some of the most dramatic moments of the entire Sherlock Holmes canon. "The Dying Detective" sees the great Holmes brought low by a fatal illness and refusing even Dr Watson's medical care. "The Bruce-Partington Plans" is a case of national importance, not least for the introduction of Mycroft Holmes. It also contains the quintessential Holmes line "whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
"The Devil's Foot" is what happens when the great sleuth and his doctor attempt to go on a restful holiday. "His Last Bow" is the last ever Sherlock Holmes story, about his war service and undercover spy experiences. These and other classic Holmes and Watson stories are here brought to life by a dramatic cast of voices, so sit back and let the mysteries unfold! (Summary by Beth Thomas)

Pretty good
(4 Sterne)
The text is well-read and put together smoothly. Good job by the volunteers. Several of the stories themselves, though, are not quite on par with the previous books in the canon; once you have read the others, there is little left in the way of surprise. I would have liked to see the characters develop a little more, and a stronger, more definitive concluding story.
excellent

Great dramatic reading!

The dramatic reading is excellent, and very engaging. But, the text itself is not as good as the earliest Sherlock Holmes works.
