Sherlock still Amazes
Really enjoyed the whole experience.
Having Mark Gatiss introduce each story certainly made it more entertaining due to his love of the works.
Narrator was also very good.

Excellent, except...
I love Sherlock Holmes and all of the stories. I adore Simon Vance as the performer. I have only two issues with this particular Sherlock Holmes series: first, the photo of the BBC TV show “Sherlock“ on the cover is misleading. For whatever reason, you can’t listen to a sample even now in November, because the sample states that it’s unable to let you listen before the book release in March 2017. It is now November 2017; still no sample. Back to why it’s misleading: the photo implies that it’s going to have anything to do with the BBC TV show, but it does not. It is my favorite performer, Simon Vance, narrating the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories. The only problem with this is the other issue: if you have already purchased all of the Sherlock Holmes books then this is a duplicate. It is not the complete works, but a compilation of the original stories. It’s not the book’s fault, it’s not the story’s fault, it’s not the performer’s fault. If I had to blame anything: it would only be the fact that you can’t listen to a sample to know what you’re really getting, and any other sherlockian picture should have been used if this wasn’t a performance of the bbc Sherlock.

Reader sounded too fast
I love all Sherlock Holmes stories but for some reason, even though I played this at X1 the reader sounded slightly too fast to me and it spoilt my enjoyment. It has a slightly electronic feel about the voice. I love the Mark Gatiss introductions though. It's a shame he didn't read the stories!
