works the biggest and greatest Sherlock Holmes collection in the eBook world Sherlock Holmes The Truly Complete Collection the 60 official stories the 6 unofficial stories Wow done it 2 and a half years The stories were mostly nice enough to read at least the ones I would expect in a not so complete collection Towards the end there were several collected as The Case Book of Sherlock Homes and I didn t like those some were awfully boring And also the Unofficial Stories were not really interesting But it was worth the buy kept me somewhat entertained for quite some time Will not read again though Arthur Conan Doyle This audiobook is so good not just because it combines all Sherlock Holmes stories in one place but also because Steve Fry s voice makes them so atmospheric And what makes it really special is that it contains the foreword regarding these stories background Absolutely loved it Arthur Conan Doyle
