The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

(4,344 Sterne; 32 Bewertungen)
This final volume of detective stories was Doyle’s effort to put his most famous creation behind him at long last. It includes a variety of tales, from widely separated periods in the protagonist’s life, including his retirement, stories told from various points of view: Watson’s, Holmes’s, and an omniscient narrator’s. Most, of course, illustrate the detective’s famous “deduction,” but not all; some of his successes call upon resources of character which we rarely associate with him. He demonstrates compassion and empathy, and more than once he laughs. His attitude toward Dr. Watson, although occasionally brusque, includes kindness, affection, and professional respect, revealing a deep and complex friendship that endears both men to the reader. (Summary by T. A. Copeland). (8 hr 27 min)

I couldn't make it through the first chapter as the narrators whistle on his hard S made it actually painful to listen to.
Good Mix of Great Stories and So-So Stories

What holds my attention besides the excellent writing is the excellent narration. I loved it.
