About this listen

 Three years have passed since Sherlock Holmes and his nemesis Moriarty vanished into the abyss of the Reichenbach Falls. In that time the criminals of London have been able to sleep safe in their beds.

But the capital has never been in greater need of its protector. And so it is that Dr Watson meets a mysterious deformed man who reveals the truth behind the fateful final conflict between Holmes and Moriarty, and paves the way for the extraordinary return of the world's greatest sleuth in these thirteen tales of mystery and deduction:

The Empty House
The Norwood Builder
The Dancing Men
The Solitary Cyclist
The Priory School
Black Peter
Charles Augustus Milverton
The Six Napoleons
The Three Students
The Golden Pince-Nez
The Missing Three-Quarter
The Abbey Grange
The Second Stain

The reading of these stories was extraordinary: the stress was always on the right word, and although I know the stories well, Jacobi brought out nuances I had missed. And there is no doubt that Doyle was one of the great story-tellers.

Superlative Reading

I liked all of it very much. Derek Jacobi is a great narrator. I’ve loved reading Sherlock Holmes novels and watching Sherlock Holmes movies ever since I was a teenager.
