dogmomirene 's review for:
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
by Arthur Conan Doyle
While this adventure may not have as many twists as many other Homes and Watson stories, I do like the overall holiday message. If you're looking for a Christmas story that has not been overdone by the media, then this freebie for Audible members is worth listening to.
My favorite parts are the analysis of the hat and the final whodunnit with the "What are we going to do about it?" piece. Cummings does a fantastic job reading this story. I felt like he flawlessly transformed himself into all of these distinct characters. I've read this story a few times, but hearing Cummings narrate made me reflect upon the character of Breckinridge. I usually pass him off as a puffy, bit of a bully comic character with necessary information. This reading made me feel a little sorry for Breckinridge. People bothering him and he just wants to make his Christmas sales. And, of course, Cummings' reading of Holmes and Watson is perfect.
