Beschreibung

In a drawer in his bureau, Dr. Watson keeps a locked cedarwood chest—a "box of secrets." It contains an archive of notes referring to some of Holmes’ cases that, for one reason or another, never saw the light of day. Now, for the first time, Watson has decided to reveal the truth to the world. . . In these four thrilling stories, Holmes experiments with the science of ballistics, locates some missing gold bullion, investigates the theft of a large amount of money, and solves the baffling mystery of the Stovey murder. Benedict Cumberbatch reads these four new Sherlock Holmes stories by John Taylor: "An Inscrutable Masquerade," "The Conundrum of Coach 13," "The Trinity Vicarage Larceny," and "The 10.59 Assassin." 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.

Wer Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch oder im Idealfall beides liebt, kann mit diesem Hörbuch eigentlich nichts falsch machen. Okay, ein bisschen Verständnis fürs Englische sollte man natürlich auch mitbringen - aber im Zweifelsfall hilft auch zweimal Hören, was bei diesem etwas mehr als zwei Stunden dauernden Hörbuch kein Problem sein sollte. Warum Benedict Cumberbatch so ein großartiger Schauspieler ist, zeigt auch dieses Hörbuch eindrucksvoll. Bis auf den amerikanischen Akzent bringt er alle britischen Dialekte so gekonnt rüber, dass man denken könnte, es sprechen hier wirklich mehrere Leute. Und wenn man genau hinhört, bringt er auch dieses schöne, elegante Upper Class English so perfekt rüber, dass man denken könnte, er spricht immer so :D. Die Stories selbst sind jetzt verglichen mit den klassischen Doyle'schen Geschichten nicht ganz so herausragend, sind aber spannend genug, um sich mit dem Hörbuch einen schönen Abend zu machen. Ein bisschen abschalten, der schönen Stimme von Benedict zu hören - und fertig ist der Genuss :).

I heard it today in the tram and I must've looked kinda dreamy^^ I mean who can judge me. It's Sherlock Holmes and Benedict Cumberbatch. What could a woman want more? Exactly, more stories... I hope he makes another Sherlock Holmes audiobook. The first story was solid. I was confused at first but then it all made sense the time Watson's friend saw Watson in the street. Although I found it kinda cruel of Holmes to confine Watson to their apartments without telling him the real reason. But oh well, that's how Sherlock works^^ The second story was not so great. The solution was kinda obvious that the owner of the gold had something to do with it. Maybe I've read too many crime novels but I found it kinda obvious that he did something to the gold. He just raised my suspicion. The third story was better again. He was really confusing at first and I had to listen to it again before I really understand what the vicar had done and how he pulled it off. He was really not in my books. I really thought some thug had broken into the church taking the money. I was blinded by his title I think. The fourth and last story was my favourite one. Not only did we learn something from a case of Sherlock's past but it was also not so obvious. I would've never guessed that the thug wanted to kill the son and not vice versa. it seemed all so clear and I thought that Sherlock for once was grasping at straws. But in the end the real culprit was found but couldn't be hanged for the crime^^ All in all I have to say that those four short stories are great to listen to on a train journey (duh^^) you on't have to concentrate too much and Benedict's voice does the rest. It relaxes and helps you shut out the world for half an hour each story.
