![]() ![]() And I look forward more to next year's release of Laurie R Kings' second part of "The Language of Bees. A Study in Scarlet By: Arthur Conan Doyle Narrated by: Derek Jacobi Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins 4.6 (831 ratings) Listen for free Listeners also enjoyed. ![]() ![]() I will persevere on to other of Conan Doyle's novels or short stories, but without as high expectations. Also, the recording quality of my download was a bit wonky - I didn't bother to re-download to see if that corrected the sound glitches (probably would). The original Holmes is still a great invention, but Conan Doyle didn't create great fiction around him, in this novel anyway -Even Simon Prebble couldn't make this a great listen to me (and sometimes I wonder if Simon was bored - this is not his best narration). I was delighted to see new versions of the Conan Doyle's classics and eagerly wanted to listen to this one -Perhaps my expectations were just too high. I've become enamored of detective fiction only in the last year, and I came to Holmes through his reinterpretations by authors like Laurie R King and Nicolas Meyer. ![]() This is probably heresy to Holmes fans but. ![]()
