Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume V, The

The Reigate Squire
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
The Yellow Face

Dr Watson comments: The stage lost a fine actor’ when Holmes chose to devote his formidable talents to the solution of crime. In two of these stories, The Reigate Squire and The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet, Sherlock Holmes demonstrates his thespian powers as he unravels the mysteries. In the first he explains a rural murder while in the second, Holmes’ timely intervention prevents something of a national - even royal - scandal.
The Boscombe Valley Mystery takes Holmes and Watson once again to the English countryside, but the famous detective uncovers old Australian animosities to get to the root of the problem. The Yellow Face, which concludes this selection, is one of the most fascinating in the whole canon, raising some key social issues of the time.

Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

For generations, the legend has been passed down - a satanic tale of a gigantic hell-hound, a devil incarnate who stalks the wastes of Dartmoor wreaking a bloody and terrible vengeance on the Baskerville family.

What turns out to be one of the most interesting cases of the great detective’s career begins when a country doctor visits Holmes and Watson in London. He brings with him the legend of the hound and news of the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles’ heir, Henry, is arriving from America and the doctor is afraid for the young man’s life. Holmes despatches Dr Watson to accompany them back to the dark and sombre estate in the Devon moor.

With peril at every turn and a murderous escaped convict at large, the mystery deepens. Is the ancient legend true, or is the hideous creature merely a part of a sinister conspiracy whose origins are all too diabolically human?

Madness of Sherlock Holmes, The

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

Sherlock Holmes is probably the most famous detective in the world. The tales of his exploits have been seen in magazines, books, television screens, the movies and even in computer games. And yet, there is a mysterious side to this fictional character that has eluded and yet drawn us for decades.

In a way reminiscent of Holme’s art of deduction, this audio book, taken from the DVD of the same name,  gets to grips with the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and uncovers an even more bizarre and mysterious tale than anybody could have expected.

From secret societies to the occult, from peer pressure to inner turmoil, this is a story of such depth that it will speak to one and all.

Uncovering dark secrets of Conan Doyle, this audio book finally explains what experiences and influences helped to forge the character of not just Sherlock Holmes, but also Moriarty and Watson.

You will never see Sherlock Holmes in the same way again.
