Review: What a delightful collection of Sherlock Holems tales!

For the record, Three Tales of Avarice includes "The Adventure of the Priory School," "The Red-Headed League" and "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle."

British actor Edward Hardwicke does a marvelous job assuming the role of the famous sleuth. And his portrayal of Dr. Watson is superb as well.

In fact, Hardwicke's characterizations are among the best I've ever heard. He takes on the voice and personality of each character in the stories and does so in such a compelling way that I found myself so engrossed that I nearly drove off the road listening to his performances. (And they say cell phones are a distraction!)

If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I have found these readings by Hardwicke to be the best available. Unfortunately, they're going out of print as fast as I can type this review.

So if you want to hear a wonderful actor read stories from one of the world's most lauded authors, please do not hesitate a moment. Buy these delightful stories on CD as quickly as you can!
