A gripping collection of 15 BBC Radio full-cast dramas written by Bert Coules, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. In the 56 short stories and four novels Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his great detective, how many times did Dr John Watson tantalise us with references to cases which were never written about in full? These original adventures flesh out those unrecorded cases to wonderful effect. Clive Merrison plays the great sleuth himself, with Andrew Sachs in the role of Doctor Watson.

Story
London. A snowy December, 1888. Sherlock Holmes, 34, is languishing and back on cocaine after a disastrous Ripper investigation. Watson can neither comfort nor rouse his friend - until a strangely encoded letter arrives from Paris. Mlle La Victoire, a beautiful French cabaret star, writes that her illegitimate son by an English lord has disappeared, and she has been attacked in the streets of Montmartre.
Written by: Bonnie MacBird
Publisher's Summary

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'.

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.

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.
