The Further Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2

By: Denis O. Smith

Narrated by: Kevin E. Green

From the cold-blooded murder of a man well known in London’s Bohemian society to a sinister tradition in an old Tudor manor house, these six cases from the early years of Holmes’ career in the 1880s present a singular collection of mysteries for the world’s first consulting detective to resolve. Who is it that bangs on the front door of Mr Lidington’s isolated cottage in the dead of night? Why does Henry Barton’s job interview proceed in such a surprising and unpredictable way? What is the secret of the man from Chile and his strange, silent wife? Sherlock Holmes must find the answers to these and many other puzzling questions if he is to bring these cases to a successful conclusion. In this new collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories, well known author Denis O. Smith accurately recreates once more both the atmosphere and the excitement of Conan Doyle’s well-loved original Holmes tales.

pleasant surprise

I anticipated this collection to be good. I have always liked this particular reader. But this collection was a really pleasant surprise in that each story in the collection was a true gem which was a pleasant surprise.

Huzzah!

Another fine effort. Both the author and the narrator lived up to the standard they set with the first book.

One again, the author demonstrated a good knowledge of Holmesian vocabulary and plots. The stories had the feeling of verisimilitude that made them quite enjoyable.

And there is the narrator. As far as I am concerned, he could narrate every Holmes audiobook, and I would listen with great pleasure.

So what is stopping you? Go get it, already!

The series gets better!

I was impressed with Volume One of Dennis O. Smith's series of Sherlock Holmes pastiches. He surpassed himself in Volume Two. Whenever one attempts to write in the style of someone as legendary as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, it is a task, to be sure. Smith once again pulls it off. I highly recommend this book and hope that Volume Three will soon follow.

Wonderful set of Holmes stories

Denis O Smith’s “Further Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes Volume 2” is a great collection of stories. I thoroughly enjoyed each one of the stories in the collection. Kevin E Green, the narrator, performed the unique voices of the characters and enhanced my enjoyment of the book!
