Reviews
Quite Good.

I am enjoying rediscovering the entire catalog of Sherlock Holmes stories and novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They don't disappoint. They are as relevant in 2018,when I am listening to them, as they were upon their initial release. The added bonus is the quality of the narration by David Clarke. His accent and voice really enhance the aural experience. I'm only just getting into this journey through Mr. Doyle's books and am pleased to see that many, if not all of his Sherlock Holmes stories/ novels have Mr. Clarke as a narrator. I think that I I shall seek those editions of the books out. Thank you to Librivox, David Clarke and, of course,the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for a wonderful experience. I look forward to more in the future.
Characters that have stood the Test of Time for so many Reasons..





A great reading of Doyle. Clear diction, no ambient sounds/distractions, great pacing, just a pleasurable listening experience all-round. The timbre of his voice reminds me so much of Rupert Everett (meant as an amazing compliment). The most believable English accent(s) I’ve heard yet (no offense meant if he is British). Major Kudos for this dramatization. I look forward to listening to the rest of the Canon of Conan Doyle from this Orator.
love the narration voices!

The narrator takes a different voice for women and other male characters other than Watson and Sherlock, which is great! I find his male voice really funny, makes it sound like jovial characters! His british accent is perfect for the story. The only thing is he speaks really fast, but since we can lower the speed (i do 50 %) it's not really a problem. i also enjoy it being the same narrator the whole time. Sound is also nice. About the stories themselves, well they are nice but not amazing. Listen at least once.
A fantastic book and reading

A fantastic continuation of Sherlock with shorter more varied stories. Still to this day a super engaging detective series. David Clark is really the only reader to use, it’s not always the first result but he’s done every book and his voices and change in accents are fantastic. His readings are more akin to a radio drama than just listening to a singular person read a book.
Worth "Reading" Again! And again!

So, I've listened many times-- including OTR (Old Time Radio) shows, Cumerbatch reading, etc. Yet, blasphemy I know My Dear Watson/Nigel Bruce & Holmes/Basil Rathbone, there's nothing quite like Conan Doyle's actual "word pictures" AND THIS excellent reader-- portraying a roomful of people-- to bring all to life into my living room & adult bedtime stories!
Best version of sherlock holmes





Michael Weston
This is the second audiobook I've listened to with David Clarke as the narrator. The way he narrates stories adds an element to stories that is unparalleled by any other narrator. I thoroughly enjoy the way he pulls a reader into a story. Bringing classic novels to life in a way that very few can.
A "quite kind of fun"





Astrid
Being obliged to stay home due to Convid 19 it has been good fun to listen to this beautiful reading. In a steady voice and without 'over acting' this audio book really helped me to pass time and made me enjoy stories I read aaages ago. Thanks for that!
Great Reading of a Classic Collection

This was a fantastic reading with wonderful voice characterizations. As far as the stories go there is little to say. These are the original short stories penned by the master himself. Each is a well polished gem of a short story. Highly recommended.
