Four more stories from the master detective. The mystery of the missing suitor is solved and Sherlock Holmes raises his whip... an Indian pot stands in the shadows of a Colonel's death... serious affairs of state and international diplomacy are threatened by a theft... and surely evil intent lies behind threats in a hidden house. The cool observations and swift action of Mr. Sherlock Holmes resolves all.
A Case of Identity; The Crooked Man; The Naval Treaty; The Greek Interpreter
David Timson applies a cultured British accent and sparkly wry tones to four classic Sherlock Holmes stories: "A Case of Identity," "The Adventure of the Crooked Man," "The Naval Treaty," and "The Greek Interpreter." At times sly, at times somber, he shifts from one character to another with ease, changing accents and timbre as appropriate. Holmes stories have been interpreted many times in recent years--even George Takei, Captain Sulu from "Star Trek," had a go at it. Timson is among the better narrators, giving one the feeling of having heard something authentic from gas-lit London. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
Booklist...
“Four classic Holmes’ adventures are superbly read by Timson, who projects a punctilious and arrogant master detective rather than an eccentric, aloof character.”

School Library Journal...
“Reader David Timson is easy to understand and paces his delivery, nicely, varying his tone slightly to distinguish among characters. The political nature of much of the content here - women's rights, colonialism, diplomacy, and international intrigue - makes this a good collection to suggest to students who are developing a sense of history as a guide to both the present and the future in the affairs of society and state.”
