Avarice gets top billing in "The Adventure of the Priory School," "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League," and "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," three masterfully crafted cases from one of the greatest mystery writers of all, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and starring that most celebrated sleuth, Sherlock Holmes.

In "The Adventure of the Priory School," a wicked scheme to kidnap a young lord results in a greater tragedy. In "The Adventures of the Red-Headed League," Holmes catches one of London's most daring criminals while investigating the strange business of the Red-Headed League. In "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," an unusual sequence of events leads Holmes to discover the precious blue carbuncle of the Countess of Morcar.

      Holmes and Watson draw upon their formidable investigative talents and encyclopedic knowledge in these tales set in Victorian London. Edward Hardwicke reads British accents and brogue with enterprising style, changing enunciation as each story demands. His rendition of the stricken schoolmaster in "Adventures of Priory School" rings with clipped, academic tones as he relates the disappearance of the 10-year-old lord left in his charge. His tone changes to coldly calculating when tracking down a notorious criminal in "The Red-Headed League." He sounds grimly determined to find a priceless gem and return it to the Countess of Morcar. An excellent listen for Sherlock Holmes fans on those congested commutes. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
