Lots of fun
Really well read, as one might expect from Derek Jacobi. The stories are as far fetched as ever, but great escapist stuff. Very enjoyable.

Clever stories greatly enhanced by narrator
Familiar, yet still enjoyable stories dramatized with verve by Derek Jacobi's spirited performance giving different voices to the characters.

Holmes is alive!
This is the third volume of Holmes short stories, and in my opinion the weakest overall, although it still has several good stories in it. Forced by popular sentiment and commercial realities to resuscitate Holmes after the unfortunate drowning incident at the Reichenbach Falls, I always have the feeling that Conan Doyle’s heart wasn’t really in it at this stage – some of these are a bit bland in terms of plot. In the later volumes I feel he got back into his stride and came up with more imaginative and dramatic scenarios – some so imaginative, admittedly, that they test credibility to the breaking point, but more exciting on the whole.
That rather negative introduction shouldn’t put new readers off though – even the weaker Holmes stories are always well worth reading, simply for ACD’s easy, flowing writing style which makes anything he writes a pleasure to read. And the relationship between Holmes and his admiring friend Watson is always a joy.
I listened to Derek Jacobi narrating them this time, and he really is the perfect Watson, as well as creating a full range of voices and personalities for all the other many characters who cross the pages.

Well read
Reading is really nice, but chapters are listed on the app only as "Chapter 1" "Chapter 2" and so on. And when one chapter ends and another starts the change seems to happen on the same breath. No pauses. Chapter title quickly mentioned and on the story goes. Few times I was distracted from listening for few seconds and when I could focus back to the story the conclusion of the chapter had changed to a new story and I had to go rewinding after listening for few minutes of the new story.
