Not the normal sort of Holmes stories.

This is a quite bizarre and not particularly good set of Holmes stories. While there are a few that were reasonably good most are bizarre or just plain boring, with some featuring werewolves, a time travelling Charles Dickens, and one that Watson admits he's only writing about (due to its being boring) as it concludes a case Holmes has worked on for a year, though he never goes into any details of what happened during that time. My advice to other Holmes fans would be to give this one a miss.

95% good.

Except for one story at the near end - which was wrote as Holmes speaking and the story told like someone deranged, the story being g crap wrote - the rest were exceptional and interesting. Still well worth listening to. Skip the story that in minutes you will easily discover, is all over the place and move on to the far better ones, of which the previous and rest are, no question.

it's not awful

this is a mediocre collection of tales. Some decent plot ideas not particularly well executed. But hey, it is what it is - fan fiction.

Enjoyable listening

I downloaded this book with more than a little trepidation, being a fan of Sir Arthur's work.
However, I shouldn't have worried, as it has both character and pace and I found it both an easy, as well as an enjoyable listening experience.

awful

in the opening five minutes the extremely weak and thin plot was revealed. One story in, I deleted the lot.
