The audio version read by Stephen Fry was excellent, including his own commentary and insight. The voices he does are amazing. I slowly listened to these over about 6 months and enjoyed them immensely. While the formulaic nature of the Sherlock style story got predictable, I was always delighted by the creative crimes and solutions.
This was all the Sherlock Holmes stories in audible. I listened to at least half and then decided to give up the subscription as I wanted to try something else
Timeless classic I had never read and I'm pairing it with the BBC television series. YUM!!!!
It was great to go through these stories again, especially to see how they line up with the Sherlock TV episodes. Haven't read them in many years, so I got to be surprised by some of the endings again.

Well, I did it. It took me the whole year, but I finished both volumes.... good grief that was a lot. Probably 1500 pages in all, I think I took it on in the correct manner - a story a week. Sometimes 2. The Boheimian Adventure was probably my favorite, and the Redheaded league my second. My biggest surprise was how intrigued Doyle was with the American West, and his knowledge of Mormons. I'm pretty sure he didn't take his tour of the U.S until AFTER his writing career, when he moved into his search for his mothers spirit as a Medium.
