Reviews-
Four of the Holmes canon's more memorable tales are read with skill and style by David Timson. The classical actor and British television performer manages the accents and characters skillfully. Naxos provides a handy booklet of liner notes listing the contents, musical selections, a short biography of Conan Doyle, and historical background essays for each of the four stories. Disappointingly, the listing of contents gives away the solution to one of the important mysteries. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine

Booklist
“This collection is marked by excellent narration and uses musical interludes to heighten tension and separate story segments. What makes this title so engaging is the inclusion of stories that sometimes have no neat resolution or reveal that the famous sleuth has been outmanoeuvred!”
Sacramento News & Review
“Read by David Timson, a British actor with a masterfully changeable voice and boosted by classical incidental music, making for a thrilling rendition.”
School Library Journal
“A fine production, with piano and string music by Paganini and others sprinkled throughout. The 12-page booklet provides information about the author, the musical selections, and the timing of each cassette. All Sherlock Holmes aficionados will appreciate the quality of Timson’s narration. For students, listening in the classroom might help make the accents, language, and setting more understandable.”
