About Book

From Library Journal
From the macabre and murderous "The Devil's Foot" to the strange case of "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," the six stories that comprise His Last Bow seem darker and more disturbing than Conan Doyle's previous Sherlock Holmes works. Unlike earlier Sherlockian tales, five of these stories are reminiscences written after Holmes's retirement. The final story presents an epilog to Holmes's career, when, at age 60, he is called back to work as a spy for Great Britain in preparations for the European War. These cases, ably read by Frederick Davidson, are rarely found in audio form and show that Conan Doyle knew how to keep Holmes current with the changing political environment. Recommended for all public libraries.

From AudioFile
This production opens with a biographical sketch of the author from the back of the tape case. It is informative but tells us nothing of this particular book. Nevertheless, these tales are quintessential Holmes, as seen through the eyes of his faithful companion, Dr. Watson. The final (and title) story of this collection reunites the pair in a case involving Holmes posing as a British spy at the onset of WW I. Reader Frederick Davidson portrays the erudite, witty Holmes with considerable aplomb. Watson is also comfortably done. Other characters are somewhat forced, but generally Davidson's style is wellsuited to the tone of these timeless stories.
