Editorial reviews

Walter Covell gives a lively performance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter" from the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He creates delightfully distinctive voices for Dr. Watson and the detective. The story marks the introduction of the formidable, yet inert, Mycroft Holmes - Sherlock’s elder brother - who is seeking the detective’s opinion on a matter. Mycroft’s neighbor, a Greek interpreter named Meles, becomes entangled with a group of shady men. Can the brothers intervene in time to save the innocent man?
