I was surprisingly unimpressed with Mr. Cumming's narration. I didn't buy his accents. He's an actual British person though, so . . . I dunno. What do I know.

Also the mystery itself was trite. I'm not a big fan of mysteries actually, but this was free, so I listened to it.

5 hours of public transport today, so I had to read a Christmas story. Good, classic Sherlock story with a little Christmas spirit.

The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle was a free holiday-themed story from Audible and my first introduction to Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. (I've seen plenty of adaptions of Sherlock Holmes, but never actually read anything from Doyle).

It was a fun quick mystery and I loved Holmes (oft comedic) deductive reasoning.

Perfectly pleasant cosy Sherlock Holmes story.
