One of the best Holmes stories, read well.

Great story read by a fantastic reader. A little louder would have been good, as others have said, but very well done nonetheless. Having different characters in different accents made the somewhat complex story much easier to follow. The story is written in a similar style to A Study in Scarlet, though this one (SPOILER) has a great and completely unexpected twist at the end!
Excelent reader, recording not so good
Ines
This reader does an excelent job at separating the voices of the characters and their accents, this book is brilliantly read! Unfortunately the recording is very low and is full of static, which prevented me from listening to it in the car. It is a pity because the reader is indeed worth listening to.
Eery well done!

One of the best readers on LibriVox. Excellent book and great reading. Not the best audio quality - in places you seem to hear large vehicles or airplanes in the background, along with the occasional cat meowing. Nevertheless, definitely 5 stars!
Excellent

Wonderful. I loved the story and the reader. She was fantastic. I only wish it would have been recorded a little louder at some places. Still giving it 5 stars.

Excellently narrated. Sure you hear the occasional House sounds but they a few, mild and in no way distracting.
