Amazon.com Review

This lively collection of BBC radio productions of four Holmes mysteries will be just what the doctor ordered for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans. In the case of The Illustrious Client, Holmes and Watson work to save a young woman from a truly dreadful marriage. In The Blanched Soldier, Holmes is on his own, unraveling the mysterious disappearance of a former soldier's old war buddy. The Mazarin Stone recounts how a magnificent gem attracts crime, and in The Three Gables the famous detective discovers who is behind a strange demand to buy a house and its entire contents. With a whole cast of actors, quick-paced scenes, and fine violin segues played by the late Leonard Friedman, the short stories make for entertaining listening. Holmes enthusiasts will also be happy to note that this collection is just the first volume of the Sherlock Holmes Casebook to be released.
