Editorial reviews

BBC radio star David Timson knows his Sherlock Holmes. He gives another stellar performance in The Adventure of the Resident Patient. In it, a doctor with an interesting business arrangement brings his problems to the famous sleuth. Winner of the Audio of the Year award, Timson performs this just about 40-minute audiobook with intelligence and clarity. He embodies Dr. Watson, the honorable Victorian gentleman. Sherlock fans will appreciate Timson's extensive contribution to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's body of work.
