I really enjoyed these stories. Unlike some newer Holmes stories they weren’t outrageously long. They also didn’t stray too far outside of what is realistic for a Holmes story. I liked the historical comments at the end of each story.

Interesting stories with a good length

Truly, I found it difficult to listen to at times. Just completely infuriating and unnecessary is the level to which anti-Semitic stereotypes and attitudes perfuse this lengthy tome. Most Jewish characters aren’t even developed beyond being described as “a Jew”. Furthermore, there is a constant underlying thread of “white Christian people” exemplifying all that is wholesome, correct and beneficent in this world. Of course there is plenty of anti Asian sentiment broadcast too, as if satisfying bigotry requirements: Referring to Asian people as “Orientals” like inanimate objects or “Chinamen” as in “One hundred men died in that explosion… but they were mostly chinamen.” But without a doubt, Jews are the main target here.

I understand that to a certain degree, this phenomenon is simply period correctness, but there were certainly sympathetic, well respected and admired Jewish people in society even 100 years ago. Not every member of that religion peddled fish and pickles, or ran sleazy pawn shops and unscrupulous money lending rackets.

So… just something to consider before purchasing. I can’t say that I “enjoyed” these books but I did make a valiant, albeit not always successful effort to listen to them in entirety. Virtual narration was a truly horrible fit for this particular selection, as many different languages and accents were called for. Additionally, being a predominantly male cast of characters why have a female voice? Were it a real female it would be different as a good narrator is a gender neutral contributor, equally adept at a wide range of both male and female impersonations, but it wasn’t a real person. So the point is moot.

Shalom!

ANTI-SEMITIC & QUITE FRANKLY, RACIST IN GENERAL

These are passable investigations but the detective in the stories is nothing like Doyle’s famed Sherlock Holmes. This Sherlock is not particularly impressive. He sometimes fails to do basic research that would reveal information that is public knowledge, turns into a tongue-tied adolescent by a young woman who is supposedly an assassin but who comes across as a giggling flirtatious schoolgirl who manoeuvres men including Sherlock into stroking her hair and, boringly and predictably, the women in the plots are all astoundingly beautiful.

A dubious Sherlock
