Summary

With contributions from Stephen Fry, Mark Gatiss, Douglas Wilmer, and many more.

1903 saw The Adventure of The Empty House and the return of Sherlock Holmes to 221 B Baker Street where he explains the deception of his death at the Reichenbach Falls to his faithful friend Dr. John Watson.

2012 saw The Crime of The Empty House where the former home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Undershaw, lay in disrepair and the threat of being destroyed forever.

This book was put together by fan site Sherlockology to help save Undershaw.

It was put together with the support of leading Sherlockians, BBC Sherlock, Granada TV, and many others. It's the only book in the world to feature four major Sherlock actors on the cover like this. Today, the building is fully restored and is the new home of Stepping Stones School for children with learning disabilities.

A great listen for any Holmes fan!

Ok, so the first section of the book wasn’t what I was expecting, with quotes and background info. It’s all very interesting, but it starts to make you wonder if the whole book is like that, but don’t worry, just persevere and you’ll get to the stories you’re no doubt looking for.
It’s also great that the book is being used to raise money to save ACD’s home… a reason I’m itself to get the book!
The tales and short stories are a great mix and I thoroughly enjoyed them and they’re all really well narrated.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Excellent Holmes Stories, Brillianty Narrated

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Originally compiled to help preserve 'Undershaw', the house in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's penned many Holmes mysteries (including the Hound of the Baskervilles), this is a wonderful collection of brand new Sherlock Holmes stories in various guises - pastiches traditional and modern, essays and even poetry.

The great cause behind it is reason enough to recommend this collection, however, the quality of the writing is very good and it is all brought wonderfully to life by the brilliant narration of Joff Manning.
