About this listen

Benedict Cumberbatch reads these four new Sherlock Holmes stories by John Taylor: 'An Inscrutable Masquerade', 'The Conundrum of Coach 13', 'The Trinity Vicarage Larceny' and 'The 10.59 Assassin'.

Inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories, John Taylor has written four more mysteries featuring the world's greatest detective.

Read by acclaimed actor Benedict Cumberbatch, these new adventures share all the suspense of the original tales.

In a drawer in his bureau, Dr. Watson keeps a locked cedarwood chest - a 'box of secrets'.

It contains an archive of notes referring to some of Holmes' cases that, for one reason or another, never saw the light of day. Now, for the first time, Watson has decided to reveal the truth to the world....

In these four thrilling stories, Holmes experiments with the science of ballistics, locates some missing gold bullion, investigates the theft of a large amount of money and solves the baffling mystery of the Stovey murder.

Great stories

Benedict is a great narrator, he is a surprisingly good Watson, a great Sherlock, and everything/everyone else felt really natural. Then the cases were a marvel to be sure. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out what's going on with the characters. Two of the stories I were able to put it together and solve before Sherlock unloads all the answers but the other ones were such a surprise. The last story in the collection truly did keep me guessing. So long story short, if you like a classic feeling Sherlock Homes story/stories you not look further than here.

Great travel stories

My wife and I were on a long road trip to have Christmas with our children and grandson. We listened to the Sherlock Holmes stories read by Benedict Cumberbatch, who really enlivened the stories. One of the best readers we have listened to.

An Excellent Time Passed.

I enjoyed the stories and the reader. Fairly well written, not exactly cliffhangers, but a good listen for short stories.

Not quite Sir Arthur, but close

Of the four stories in this collection, I solved one of the crimes prior to Holmes setting out his explanation; The other three kept me guessing to the end. The writing certainly has the flavour of the original stories but you can still tell they are not written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Nevertheless, they were enjoyable in large part because Benedict Cumberbatch does such a good job with the narration. His Holmes, in particular, is superb. No surprise there.
