Volume two in this series consists of one novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and two collections of short stories, which include "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (a total of 23 stories). These creations by Doyle represent the finest work of his Holmes series, and certainly the most famous.

Enjoyed these classics

Some of the pronunciation of words were a bit off, but the intensity of the stories and build up to to each story climax was magnificent. Different individuals were easily recognized so the plot was easy to follow. Now for book 3

One of my favorites
What did you like best about this story?
It never got dull and the characters were well portrayed. You always thought you could predict the story, and then it did a "twist"!!!
Which scene was your favorite?
The school with all the descriptions of the beginning of the 1st term and new people.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, I was just kept enthralled, which could be called extreme when you still have a busy life rushing around you all day.
Any additional comments?
Agatha Christie, has an amazing ability of making her characters "real"

I found the reader a little mono toned in his reading, but the story drew you into the plot so eventually you concentrated on what was unfolding and not how it was portrayed.

Historia

Revisado: 07-25-12
Where does Peril at End House rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As a recent member I was impressed by the quality and versatility of the Narration. The story was a typical Agatha Christie, and I still couldn't guess "who did it"
What other book might you compare Peril at End House to and why?
I have not listened to many stories yet, other than Sherlock Holmes, and they both have been good so it is difficult to compare them.
Which scene was your favorite?
I was caught into all of the scenes, but I think the a scene in the last chapter caught my imagination the most.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
not really, as Murder Mysteries, don't tend to be that way inclined
Any additional comments?
Just a very good way to occupy ones time when one is busy with hand work, most enjoyable, the work just gets done.!!!!
