I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories. "Mycroft" is a great addition. The story was satisfactorily complex and the performance equally good. I am looking forward to reading the other 2 books in this set.

I have enjoyed Sherlock Holmes read by others, but Stephen Fry'a performance was outstanding. The characterisation were superb. Couple that with the rich and engaging stories, this was a most enjoyable audio book. I highly recommend it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,445
The year is 1876. Warring Indian tribes still populate America's western territories, even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape. In much of the country, it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Against this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils while surveilling, deceiving, and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.

Scott Brick does a great job. I read the book over a decade ago. It was wonderful to return to the fascinating island of the dinosaurs. To sit and listen, close my eyes, and be transported away to wonderful places via the audio books. Thank you all, who made this possible.

A new Jeeves audiobook is cause for celebration, especially when the stories are not available in print. This hilarious installment of the inimitable manservant Jeeves and his twit of an employer, Bertie Wooster, includes the earliest stories written by the master of the pen, prank, and pun. The stories are woven together with original material performed by Martin Jarvis.
