A LibriVox Listener
To be clear, this is not an adaptation of a classic tale by Conan Doyle. It is very poorly thrown together farrago of complete nonsense by couple of half-wits with no understanding of the Holmes canon, or of how to write an entertaining spoof based on references to cases mentioned in passing in the genuine Holmes stories. Spoofs of the Holmes stories are allowed a little freedom and license to take some liberties with various aspects of late Victorian society in England, but this is simply garbage. Oh, yes, Elgar's Pomp and Circumstances marches were composed 1901-1904, several years after the supposed date of this trash - the morons who wrote this stuff couldn't even get that right...
A Sherlock Holmes Spoof so BS it is fun!

It starts with a feeling of: Sherlock Holmes meets Father Brown (or Brother Cadfael). It works itself to a climax of Sir A.C. Doyle going so Batshit that Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson stop covens of Satanists and prevent a world war on their own... Audio quality is OK, the music choice is a matter of taste, and some loud screaming could wake your neighbors, if you do not use a headset to listen to this.
Well performed, Smugly British
Serp Rivleau
Well performed for an audio-play. It dips into rather self-indulgent, especially in patriotism, but it's an entertaining ride.
Great adaption

Justice done to the source material with a touch of the supernatural. Great!
