Sherlock Holmes: Eliminate the Impossible

By: Paula Hammond

Narrated by: Michael Langan

In The Sign of Four, the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, famously says: "... when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth ...".

Eliminate the Impossible collects six canonical tales in which Holmes and Watson encounter mummies, angels, phantoms, invisible assassins, and arcane machines ... or so it might appear to those without a carefully stocked brain attic.

From Medieval London, to the snow-capped mountains Turkey, from dusty Admiralty vaults, to the glitz and glamour of the Orient Express, from the days of fledgling friendship, to the backdrop of World War I, this new collection invites you to celebrate deduction, forensic science, and logic ... and Eliminate the Impossible.

Excellent set of stories

I thoroughly enjoyed Sherlock Holmes - Eliminate the Impossible by Paula Hammond. This collection of stories is well written, and I liked the explanations at the end of each story. The narration by Michael Langan is outstanding. His performance truly brings the characters and stories to life. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Solid.

Six cases, each with a seemingly impossible/supernatural outcome, and its up to Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson to uncover the truth.
each case ends with notes on historical tidbits key to each story. I recommend

I found Michael Langan narration enjoyable.

Holmes Versus the Supernatural?

It's quite popular these days to set Sherlock Holmes up against the supernatural and force him to concede that Cthulhu, or vampires, or whatever, does actually exist. That is what I thought I was getting in this great collection of Holmes short stories. Instead, what I found was a half dozen tales in which the circumstances surely would lead Holmes to think the supernatural was involved, but in which Holmes doesn't blink. He stays true to himself and uncovers the mystery. And I really liked that, even though I also enjoy the stories where he is forced to confront the supernatural as a real thing.

The author also takes the time at the end of each story to inform the reader of the nineteenth century history that is the basis of each tale, grounding Holmes' activities in the people, events, and understanding of his time. It was a nice additional touch.

Great classic Sherlock Holmes stories.

I received an ARC of this audio book and really enjoyed it! I was disappointed to have it end - can't wait for more from this author.

A Joy to read

A nice variety of Sherlock Homes and Watson stories, all some what different , but fun for all.

Six Delightful Stories with Holmes & Watson

Great stories that are very loyal to the original canon. Michael Langan gives a great performance - he does one of my favorite Holmes.

Perfect Sherlock Holmes

Anybody who likes Sherlock Holmes will love this

Classic Sherlock Holmes beautifully written, and researched. There are historical notes at the end of every story which are really fascinating. Paula Hammond does a masterful job of writing classic Sherlock Holmes. The narration is perfect.

Solid stories well told

These were interesting mysteries nicely told in Watson's familiar voice, with nothing that felt out of place, anachronistic, or out of character. Exactly the kinds of Holmes stories I like best! Well worth a listen.

Highly Entertaining!

As a child I would have my parents check out Sherlock Holmes records from the library which I would listen to time and again. In listening to Sherlock Holmes: Eliminate the Impossible I am taken back to those memories of classic stories being narrated as my mind fills in the images. These new tales have the feeling of the old. They do not try to take Holmes and Watson out of their period, though the tales cover a good period of time. I particularly like the notes at the end of each of the tales, which added so much additional depth and color. If you are a Holmes fan, or just a fan of good storytelling, I would very much recommend Sherlock Holmes: Eliminate the Impossible, and if you are like me, you might find yourself sitting in a parking lot for 15 plus minutes, waiting for the story you are listening to to finish, before you get out of the car.
