Synopsis

No case is too slight for the mental powers of the Great Detective, in this second selection from The Return of Sherlock Holmes. A young girl is stalked by a solitary cyclist; whilst the 'dancing men' hieroglyphics found in Norfolk lead to a sinister connection with America. Holmes enters the murky world of high society blackmail in 'Charles Augustus Milverton'; and finds an abducted student from the 'Priory school.' As always, his friend Dr. Watson is with him to assist and chronicle these cases.

About this title

From AudioFile:

If David Timson is tiring of reading Sherlock Holmes stories--this is his tenth title in the Naxos catalogue--there's no sign of it. In this suite of four tales, including two that showcase Conan Doyle's fondness for the bicycle, Timson demonstrates his mastery of Holmes and Watson and mixes in regional accents for many of the minor characters. Timson's liner notes, always a nice complement in this series, are practical as well as illuminating, since they include diagrams of the cipher at the heart of "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." Attention to details like this--which other audio publishers sometimes ignore--is something the great Holmes himself would no doubt appreciate.
