Reviews

Goodreads review by Yosef on June 25, 2019

These are radio episodes from radio’s Golden Age of Sherlock Holmes episodes. They feature Basil Rathbone, for many the definitive Holmes, and Nigel Bruce as Watson. These episodes are set in Victorian London . Some of them are adaptations of AC Doyle’s original stories. Others are original stories.......more

Goodreads review by Kylie on October 12, 2016

Do murderers really commit suicide instead of letting themselves get caught? The Holmes stories use that plot device a little too frequently to be realistic.......more
