The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

 by Arthur Conan Doyle

Libby audiobook 9 hours

read by Ralph Cosham

Published: 1892 (originally)

Genre: mystery short stories


From the app: Since Doyle created the immortal Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, no other mystery writer has come close to eclipsing him as the standard bearer in crime fiction. A brilliant London-based "consulting detective," Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and renowned for his skillful use of astute observation, deductive reasoning, and inference to solve difficult cases. This collection includes twelve of Holmes' most famous cases:

  1. A Scandal in Bohemia
  2. The Red-Headed League
  3. A Case of Identity
  4. The Boscombe Valley Mystery
  5. The Five Orange Pips
  6. The Man with the Twisted Lip
  7. The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
  8. The Adventure of the Speckled Band
  9. The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb
  10. The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
  11. The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
  12. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

 

I enjoyed listening to these stories, but there were some that were more interesting and others that were irritating. (The beryl coronet - seriously?! You bring it HOME and TELL people about it?!?! No wonder it got stolen!) Cosham does the vocal work excellently. Love listening to him read these stories.
