Summary

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot.

A font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion.

Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.

Performed by Scott McCormick, Eric Messner, Patrick Bussink, David Jourdan, Matthew Keenan, Yasmin Tuazon, Jonathan Feuer, Bradley Smith, David Coyne, Steven Carpenter, Chris Davenport, Dani Stoller, Richard Rohan, Matthew Schleigh, Michael Glenn, Peter Holdway, Eva Wilhelm, Michael John Casey, Lolita Horne, Laura C Harris, Andy Clemence, Colleen Delany, Eleanor Todd, Jillian Levine-Sisson, Ken Jackson, Nanna Ingvarsson, Terence Aselford, Todd Scofield, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Mort Shelby.

Loved it

A nice take on a classic. Doesn’t take itself too seriously with lots of lol moments.

Very unique take on classic characters

Take this book with a pinch of salt but it’s some of the most delicious, fun and hysterical versions of characters we have grown to love. Watson has his moments which I love and the creativity behind adapting the characters is brilliant.

Totally brilliant characters

I love this team of actors who do these series of audible dramatisations . I laughed so much as each tale unfolded . My favourite was John Watson . Can’t wait for more

Great stories but

I can’t stand the narrator’s voice. It’s horrible. What were they thinking casting this guy? He sounds so old and ugly. I prefer the narrator of the non-dramatised version. He does Holmes so brilliantly. It’s fun to hear some sound effects with these dramatised adaptations though. But how can they let this narrator get away with saying ‘orange’ the way he does. Horrific.

Great story, voice acting misses the mark

The voice actors are mocking UK voices and it made very uncomfortable, insulting listening. Why would the director do that? Do US listeners really find that funny? The comedy in the books is perfect, but surely the author can't have intended to parody British voices. I love the books, but i won't listen to any more of these insulting, careless productions.

Massive fun!

This not my usual thing but they hooked me with a freebie on Book 1, and now I’m in!

It is very silly, kinda gory in places but also made me laugh out loud unexpectedly several times. Book 2 is now definitely on my list.

The only thing that slightly niggled was being able to hear it was American actors playing such traditionally British characters (the actors were fantastic, as were the characters they played, but I’m a massive Sherlock Holmes fan and Victorian English with an American accent will just always feel slightly out of kilter).

Like I said tho, great fun, some really clever twists and dialogue, and I’m definitely a new fan of the series!

Hard to understand. Incidental noises and music

This audio work has several performers and lots of incidental noises like cutlery and traffic. The result being an unintelligible dialogue. It's the first audiobook that needs subtitles.

Possibly the reviews are left by younger listeners with excellent hearing
