The casebook of Sherlock Homes

Beautifully read by David Jacobi who brings each case vibrantly alive. A wonderful mixture of bedtime (in my case!) short stories, each one totally different.

Classic Holmes

Having listened to much of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes I was keen to listen to these outings. Derek Jacobi's narration is brilliant as always. I found the mysteries here are not quite as gripping as some of those I have listened to before but still very entertaining. This is a collection of short stories.

Great Sherlock Holmes classic stories

A great listen for fans of the Canon. The reader is a great actor and does a great job in recreating a Victorian classic detective story.

Brilliant

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd recommend to a friend, definitely! It was a fantastic listen, the stories lived up to all I had heard on the books. It was quite easy to dip in and out of too with the short stories so it was pretty accessible which was handy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes?

I would have to say my most memorable moment was the monkey man.. you'll understand when you get there!

Which character – as performed by Derek Jacobi – was your favourite?

Watson

Brilliant

You know Sherlock Holmes. You've seen adaptations on TV, you know his stories. But, listening/reading the books is just wonderful. By reading, you gain a deeper understanding of Holmes, of Watson, of Victorian England and Derek Jacobi is an amazing narrator. He is perfect for the job. So even though you may be familiar with the stories, have a listen and instead of being preoccupied with 'who done it' (cos you probably know already), enjoy the journey and allow Holmes to lead you there in his own unique way.

FAB-YOU-LUS darling

Great stories, great narration, Arthur Conan Doyle had such an immense imagination to come up with so many of these shorter stories. They nip along at a pace, each one suitable for a commute to work. Whenever I watch the TV adaptations I wonder why they seem so slow?!
