"Harkening back to the Golden Age of Radio, these
three audio presentations are outstanding. They are superbly produced,
and the voice work by the performers is spot on, especially Dwight
Schultz, who portrays Dr. Roylott with frightening malice as he
threatens Holmes and others in 'The Speckled Band.' Martin Jarvis and
Kristoffer Tabori are also excellent as Holmes and Watson,
respectively.... This audiobook will delight all Sherlock Holmes fans
and anyone who enjoys the great radio programs of the past." — ForeWord magazine

Mystery-Suspense Audios of 2005
"A complete
cast performs the only two Holmes plays written by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, as well as a spoof production by the audiobook’s producer, Yuri
Rasovsky. In all three, Rasovsky combines a talented cast, spot-on sound
effects, and a rich musical score to achieve a stunning audio
production. Every character, every cast member, every special effect,
and every note of music merits applause. The first two plays are vintage
Conan Doyle—full of clues for the discerning listener, full of mystery
for all, with a satisfying “aha!” at the end. In the third, Rasovsky
presents a clever portrayal of Holmes in retirement, killing for
pleasure and running off with Watson’s wife. Once you get over the
shock, you’ll never read Sherlock the same way again." — R.L.L. AudioFile
