This series actually renewed my interest in Doyle's catalog of Holmes stories.
I found a list of all of them that someone had compiled a rating of each based on Holmes fans feedback, so they're each rated from 1 ★ up to 5 ★'s.
Even better was I found 2 different versions of all of his stories in audio formats.
• A really cool one is an old BBC Radio version with an entire cast of voice actors doing every story unabridged, along with a bit of sound effects added in.
• The other is a narration by some British bloke, but he does a good job with it.
I'm busy enough as it is, so these are a nice listen when commuting or driving around town on errands.
