Great story, audio quality not so much
Enjoyed the well constructed story and can understand why it was so popular around the same time that Sherlock Holmes graced reading pages.
This recording however was disappointing. The narrator gives good versions of character voices but between lines is very robotic and will be galling for Australians to hear Melbourne pronounced in the American "Mel-booorne" way. It must be an old recording as the sound quality is poor but then if you consider it was written in 1886 then it adds to the story! There's a lapse in the recording in chapter 9 at around 16 minutes and the last chapter is repeated for whatever reason.
Overall I enjoyed the story!
