Hardwicke IS Sherlock Holmes...and Watson...and...

What a delightful collection of Sherlock Holems tales!
For the record, Three Tales of Avarice includes "The Adventure of the Priory School," "The Red-Headed League" and "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle."
British actor Edward Hardwicke does a marvelous job assuming the role of the famous sleuth. And his portrayal of Dr. Watson is superb as well.
In fact, Hardwicke's characterizations are among the best I've ever heard. He takes on the voice and personality of each character in the stories and does so in such a compelling way that I found myself so engrossed that I nearly drove off the road listening to his performances. (And they say cell phones are a distraction!)
If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I have found these readings by Hardwicke to be the best available. Unfortunately, they're going out of print as fast as I can type this review.
So if you want to hear a wonderful actor read stories from one of the world's most lauded authors, please do not hesitate a moment. Buy these delightful stories on CD as quickly as you can!

The Real Sherlock Holmes
24 Feb 2013
By B. A. Dilger
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
These audiobooks containing unabridged readings of the great detective Sherlock Holmes are made more realistic by the narrator. Edward Hardwicke, whom you may know from the BBC series with Jeremy Brett, uses voice changes and intonations to bring the reader into the story, as it were. While "The Red-Headed League" has to be one of the best, "The Adventure of the Priory School" is Sherlock caught up in another case of avarice and intrigue. In "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" we see the master detective at his most mysterious. Great audiobook and complete. There are two other sets available for a total of nine stories.

I enjoy Sherlock Holmes stories. This was a great radio type program. It has a couple stories on it that I hadn't heard before that we done well with in the actors and story line of the Avarice Tales.
