Editor reviews
Walter Covell gives a lively performance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter" from the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He creates delightfully distinctive voices for Dr. Watson and the detective. The story marks the introduction of the formidable, yet inert, Mycroft Holmes - Sherlock’s elder brother - who is seeking the detective’s opinion on a matter. Mycroft’s neighbor, a Greek interpreter named Meles, becomes entangled with a group of shady men. Can the brothers intervene in time to save the innocent man?
Summary
The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in the Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft who, according to Holmes, is endowed with powers of observation and deduction even better than his.
