5.0 out of 5 stars Sherlock Holmes stories read by the best of the Watsons, November 21, 2010

This review is from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 3 (A CSA Word Classic) (Audio CD)

Edward Hardwicke replaced David Burke as the second Watson to Jeremy Brett's seminal Sherlock Holmes on the BBC Granada television series. His portrayal of Watson was warm, authentic, arguably the best Watson of any time.

Here Mr. Hardwicke performs an additional six canon adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This is not a mere reading, but a well crafted performance of the stories by a gifted actor. While there are many audio adaptations of Conan-Doyle's Holmes, this is by far the best I've had the privelege to listen to. Mr. Hardwicke imbues the stories with new life and energy, astounds and enthralls us just as the mysteries themselves do.
