stories are good. only one problem.

I enjoyed the stories. I have a big problem with every time Watson was mentioned it was always John H Watson. Sometimes Dr Watson's name was put together so weirdly that it took me a bit to realize who they meant. Narrations were.good for most all of them. There were a couple that you could not tell the difference between the characters. Some stories seem to be the same ones that have already been recorded. But there was a different ending. Still over all enjoyed the book

awesome

I used to have these all on cassette tapes listening over, and over again! so glad you had them in digital.

Entertaining

Enjoyable listening. There is nothing like a good murder mystery. You will love the performances.

enjoyed hearing

these stories were great hearing these old shows as they were once done for radio

Was a good listen

For those of you that are use to listening to Basil Rathbone as Holmes, the person playing Holmes sounds like he is racing to finish the sentence. Slowing the speed to 90% really did help. And for Watson helped him also.

Great short stories and performance

This was a great set of short stories. Most of them are just 20 minutes long and hold true to the original Conan Doyle style. The cast is very good. I did find that the person doing Sherlock spoke too quickly so I slowed the speed to ×80 and that worked just fine.

Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Great to hear the old and original Conan Doyle adventures. Sooooo good! Excellent performance by All.

Delightful stories

If you enjoy the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce radio series, then you’ll enjoy Jim French’s “Further Adventures” audio dramas. The stories are fun, intriguing, and performed by a great cast (particularly the leads). A delightful pastiche in the spirit of Conan Doyle’s original stories.

Very Sherlockian

I loved this audiobook. This is highly entertaining. I would reccomend this audiobook to anyone.

FUN LISTEN

A lot of fun, great little short stories. Well written and very Sherlockian. Worth the credit.
