“The third volume of Naxos' unabridged traversal of the most famous collection of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories once again mixes a few of the more substantial tales with some shorter and more obscure or whimsical ones. David Timson reads with a proper British accent utterly apt to narrator Dr. Watson, changing his voice effectively when other characters speak. His timing is always finely wrought, neither rushed nor ponderous and quite natural for the speaking characters, who are nicely delineated from the narrative. Anyone with the time to invest in hearing these stories delivered dramatically rather than simply reading them will find Timson's performance quite satisfying.”

 

“Read by David Timson, a British actor with a masterfully changeable voice and boosted by classical incidental music, making for a thrilling rendition.”
