Sorry but this one is mediocre

The writing leaves something to be desired. The reader tried hard to make people sound different but could have done better.

One pet peeve I had was his pronunciation of “gaol” as gay-lol rather than jail (Americanized).

Amusing and pleasant.

Poor and competing audio

With additional sounds and voices very loud and very quiet in some of the stories was quite difficult to listen to in a car and a quiet place. A few on the non-canonical stories were a bit weak. Sometimes wondered which character I was listening to as voice differences of multiple characters by one person weren’t all distinguishable at times.

Narration so bad, had to stop

A waste of a credit. The reviews require 15 words, but really, just stay away.

Superb Dramatisation

I love every second of this fantastic Dramatisation of mostly classic stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, such as The Adventure of the Six Napoleons, and a few newly composed Holmes pastiches, including The Case of the Clever Cat Burglar. The best story is an original entitled The Problem of Panteloni's Understudy. Rich with environment via clever sound effects and superior acting, I highly recommend this title.
