"Rasovsky combines a talented cast, spot-on sound effects, and a rich musical score to achieve a stunning audio production. Every character, every cast member, every special effect, and every note of music merits applause."--AudioFile

"Harkening back to the Golden Days of Radio, these three audio presentations are outstanding. They are superbly produced, and the voice work by the performers is spot on...."--Foreword magazine

These new, specially commissioned productions of the Hollywood Theater of the Ear star Audie Award-winning readers Martin Jarvis as Sherlock Holmes and Kristoffer Tabori as Dr. Watson.

Blackstone Audiobooks is pleased to present the first audio recordings ever of the only two Holmes plays written by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This new, specially commissioned production of the Hollywood Theater of the Ear is a unique, must-have audio for all Sherlockians.

In Sherlock Holmes, the Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarity, plots with would-be blackmailers to have Holmes killed. And the normally love-proof Holmes falls for an exceptional woman.

What is the secret of the shocking death of poor Enid's sister, whose dying words were, "the speckled band?" Only Holmes can find the answer and save a helpless girl from certain death in The Speckled Band.

When Holmes retired, it created a financial crisis for his friend Watson, who owes money to mobsters who want either their cash or his blood. The surprising upshot is: Ghastly Double Murder in Famed Detective's Flat, a one-act comedy by producer-director Yuri Rasovsky, here receiving its audiobook premiere.

5 stars An excellent Holmes radio production
If you've listened to all the rediscovered Rathbone/Bruce - Conway/Bruce and Stanley/Shirley shows or the incredible BBC productions featuring Gielgud/Richardson or the Merrison/Williams and Sachs you must treat yourself to Yuri Rasovsky's Sherlock Holmes production. It starts off with the made for the stage play (as well as written for William Gillette by Sir Arthur himself!) entitled "Sherlock Holmes" with Sherlock Holmes in love!?! Then after that another play written by Conan Doyle entitled "The Speckled Band". But you might say "I know the story of The Speckled Band!" You won't recognize it here as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has fleshed it out with melodramatic twists and turns not found in the original story he wrote. He also introduces new characters as well. The third is a wonderful parody (of which I'm not usually fond of, but this is too hilarious to turn my nose up at!) by Yuri Rasovsky himself about Dr. Watson and Holmes having a falling out because of Watson's gambling habit and I will not give away the plot any more than that! This is a well worth the download production with excellent peformances by Martin Jarvis, Kristoffer Tabori, and a full cast. The sound and music are top notch and over all there is so much to like about this peformance. Do yourself a favor and click "add to cart". Than sit back and close your eyes and let Martin Jarvis' Holmes and Kristoffer Tabori's Watson tske you back to the days of gaslight and great detective stories! Enjoy!
