Customer Reviews

This CD audiobook box set contains 12 of Arthur Conan Doyle’s best Sherlock Holmes stories. These BBC Radio 4 dramatisations star British actor Carleton Hobbs as the voice of the eccentric Holmes and he is joined by Norman Shelley as the level-headed Dr. Watson. This is the only collection that features all of these unique recordings on one CD audiobook, and they are made even more poignant as Nicholas Utechin introduces each story.

Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an impressive total of 60 stories featuring the humourous detective partnership that were to be made into numerous TV programmes, films, comics and radio dramatisations. 

There are three volumes in Carleton Hobbs Sherlock Holmes: The Collection including Volume 1 that contains A Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, Charles Augustus Milverton and The Speckled Band. Volume 2 features The Blue Carbuncle, Silver Blaze, The Final Problem and The Empty House. The final volume contains The Musgrave Ritual, Black Peter, The Bruce Partington Plans and The Dancing Men.

Every story in this one of a kind collection is a gem of a tale that is read perfectly by Hobbs and Shelley, as they bring the detective duo to life with their fabulous voice overs. A must-have addition for any audiobook collection.
