Definitely not Sherlock

A completely different style to the Holmes classics, but it should be given the topic. An interesting read, I wanted to read this for research on my Arthur Conan Doyle walking tour in London. I found the narrator to match the topic and time very well.

Could not bear listening for more than 10 mins

The reader had such poor word inflection I couldn't bear to listen to it. Very strange and slow uncomfortable to listen to
Love A Conan Doyle but will have to find a different version or read the book myself. Disappointed 😞
