In this second of three volumes of the brilliant collection The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, England's most prominent investigator is at it again in four more mysteries demanding this super sleuth's exceptional powers of deduction. Originally conceived for BBC broadcast and produced by the world's foremost creators of radio entertainment, these exceptional dramatizations bring to life the Victorian world of the master detective.
In "The Sussex Vampire," Sherlock Holmes needs to look in a mirror to establish the truth, while "The Three Garridebs" finds Holmes and Watson investigating why someone has been trying to make Nathan Garrideb leave his cluttered room. A single sensational deduction stands at the heart of "The Problem of Thor Bridge," an excellent story of passion and unrequited love, and a story in which Holmes finds a rather interesting use for Watson's revolver. Finally, in the eerily titled "A Creeping Man," a distinguished academic's very strange behavior alarms his family to the point of horror.
Complete with stirring music and sound effects, this exceptional presentation has all the charm of a radio broadcast...and all the excitement of a theater performance. These four tales in the continuing series of The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes find England's astute and fearsome duo of Watson and Holmes at the top of their form.
