- WARNING - SPOILER ALERT. DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE HEARING THE STORY!!!
This is NOT an original SH story by Sir A.C. Doyle, but one written by Barrie Roberts, who has written an interesting and very intriguing story .
I tried to contact the publishers of the book in which this remarkable story is to be found - "The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures" by Carroll&Graf Publishers, Inc. 1997 - but they are no longer in existence. However, I was able to get permission from the successor - The Perseus Books Group. Thank you very much indeed!!
You can find them here:
www.perseusbooksgroup.com/
And you can still find the book an Amazon (I just checked - it was edited by Mike Ashley). - Hry
'And unlike our primitive forefathers, we do not have to fear that they will carelessly be unleashed upon the world'
That last line gave me chills.
Thank you . I found your voice very soothing and cant understand all the mean comments. I was always taught that if you cant say anything nice then dont say anything at all. Please continue your readings, more people enjoy them than not.
It's not mean to expect words to be pronounced correctly.
Thank you for posting this. Going through a grueling with stress time in my life now and, under God, have depended on Arthur Conan Doyle novels, particularly Sherlock Holmes, for some months now. It helps. You can almost hear the "pit pat" of the London rain and smell the pipe tobacco :) when listening to or reading these stories. So, thanks so much. These audiobooks help me settle down to sleep at night.
Marie Shanahan I too am listening to the stories to relax. I do hope that life is treating you more kindly now. All best wishes, Karen
Try Greg Wagland you won't regret it.
Hope you are feeling better! 💚
Yes! I can hear the horse's hoofsteps on cobblestone , Baker Street😉
Amen. I hear and relate. So many of us in similar places, and going back into this world a saving Grace
such an interesting story historically.
i haven’t listened to you for a long time and it is so good to hear your voice and reading style. thank you soo much.
one point of information - a few readers* i and other’s listen to, have gotten demonetized by YT for “copying” their content. what they have done, as others do, is to copyright their material and add their own comments on the story, or the author, or the background/history of the story and that works! so just be aware of this ridiculous YT rule thing!! :)
*Bitesized audio, and a couple of others. Horror Babble has been very helpful. :) 🌷🌱
Love the picture. Good story, well narrated. Sherlock Holmes has always been a favorite. 😊
I am really enjoying this but I shouldn't listen late at night! It's very well read and a great story, I get too involved and the next thing I know it's morning.
I suffer from insomnia and years ago I started listening to audio relaxation tapes and discovered a surefire way to fall asleep. I think I trained my brain to drift off to a good story teller after progressing to audio novels.
It's a great way to enjoy housework while becoming engrossed in a wonderful story.
Thank you very much for recording and uploading.
Marvin, this was wonderful. I have been hungering for more Sherlock Holmes stories after reading the complete set several times, and this was a wonderful story (and, I am a former student of health physics and radon measurements!). Thank you so much! Stephen Lief, Philadelphia
This was a splendid story, well read and presented! Really enjoyable. I could well imagine Sherlock Holmes theorizing the then-unknown existence of radioactive elements. And the idea of something like that being buried in an ancient tomb makes for a terrific story.
Listened to this while doing homework. A great recommendation
Remarkable story nicely narrated.
I enjoyed the story, the reader's voice and his style. I have nothing negative to say, I really liked this.
+marvin jackson thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Stay tuned, there will be more :-)
+pikewerfer Thanks for doing these. I was remarking on the negative comments, I simply don't agree with any of them and frankly am always amazed how critical people can be.
+marvin jackson I listen to your readings at night. I finally did detect one word that we say differently. Attribute. Most of us pronounce it as A-TRIBUTE when used such as "I attribute his brilliance to his superior powers of observation". But if I said "one of his attributes is his powers of observation" it would sound more like AT-TRIBUTES. It's rather like the first T is silent in one usage but almost emphasized in the other. Other than that I find it flawless and your ability to keep characters seperate is exceptional. It's only because I read a comment about mispronounced words that I was listening trying to detect what they were referring to. Your English is worlds better than my Deutsch. In fact your English is better than mine! I only mention this word because you asked another poster which words you hit wrong. I only show it because of how silly it is to criticize your reading over something so minute. I still think you're great and as we're dozing off at night your readings are playing in the background. Thank you for that. Marvin
marvin jackson Thank you so much for your feedback. I promise I will do some new recordings soon, so you can sleep well! :-)
marvin jackson b
Thank you for the reading. I enjoy it very much!
I have listened to many, many recordings, and this is one of the better ones. The sometimes vicious comments in the comment section here, are really not warranted.
There are recordings from british readers, which are of a much lesser quality. Heavy breathing, sounds in the background, and as I am a native dutch and german speaker, sometimes horrific accents.
Thank you very much - appreciate it. :-)
A very enjoyable reading - many thanks
To add to my last comment.....If only there were as many native English speakers who could read as well in another language it would be amazing..! As I said below..Well done Sir..
Is the reader foreign then? Where from?
Great Audio book, keeps my mind busy!
I really enjoyed this. Great pacing. Thanks for recording it. 🙂
Always looking for new Sherlock. I enjoyed. Thank you!

A fine reading, though I am puzzled as to the Irish doctor's accent...perhaps he had spent more time in Glasgow during his time in practice
Yes, he was Irish and his accent was Scottish!
If you can't, don't!
Well read: there were some reading errors e.g. was mispronounced for example; maybe 4 others. But doesn't spoil general favourable impression
+T J Gluckman I agree - I've heard thousands of audio books, and you did mispronounce a few words, but I thought your voice was soothing and you kept the characters separated very well. I'm an English and Drama teacher, so I know how hard you've tried! Good effort!
Well read ..cheers
very entertaining story and well read - all those negative comments below - are pathetic critics - and who cares what a critic thinks when critics are essentially failed artists - that is why they are critics ....
Thanks! Negative comments do make me sad sometimes. But then I think: "hey, as long as I have fun doing these, and some people have fun listening, all is good." :-)
Great video. I love Sherlock Homes.
Really enjoyed listening love Sherlock Holmes.
what is the name of the painting ?
Stephen King wrote a Sherlock Holmes story too
Halfway through and I'm now thinking it was some condensed radium in the box! Why else would their be a lead lining? Radiation spikes can mess up film in cameras, could spread through the wind and then cease spreading without it?
thanks so much for that.☺
This reader gives wow emphasis on every thought!🔥💪🐯
Play the video at x1.25 speed. The voices sound much more natural.
Why do people find it necesary to negatively critique every aspect of these? Did I not get the assignment?
someone went back in time and hid nukes in a barrow to blow it all up in 1936 , i blame the time travelling zombie nazis , and it was up to counter time travelling agent who pretended to be an archaeologist to stop them by gain the help of the mighty Sherlock Holmes
I love your reading voice :D it's really calming :)
hi werfer - love your reading- fascinating and quite relaxing at night :}
Where did you get the picture/painting from ?
+claudiusVIII It is the cover of the book I am reading from :-) It is called "Liverpool Docks" and was painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 - 93).
Thanks for the info, I really like that painting.
Does anybody know the name of the painting used as a thumbnail fir this video??
It is the cover of the book I am reading from :-) It is called "Liverpool Docks" and was painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 - 93).
@@pikewerfer i knew i recognised it. It was on my nans hallway wall for years...she lived in walton right near the docks😊
Nicely narrated👌🏽
I really enjoyed the readers voice.
A lead lined casket in a Barrow, that fogged the photographer's plates. And the illness of his Son. It must be Radiation fog.
I love this reader.
I diagnosed the cause long before Dr Watson was enlightened. My physics courses were not in vain!
Nice recording. I enjoyed your voices and I know it is tricky to keep all of the different voices distinctive natural sounding. I thought you did well.
In the Mystery of the Addleton Curse there are so many mispronounced words (beyond the difference between American and British English) that is distracting to the point where I had to continually backup to reconnect with the flow of the story.
Is that what it is! I wondered why someone who lacked the proper pronunciation thought they could read aloud.
what's the artwork called please?
Look in Wikipedia for John Atkinson Grimshaw, then click on "A collection of Grimshaw paintings" under Links, I think you will agree this is the main part of the picture by him known as "Liverpool from Wapping". Here is a link www.illusionsgallery.com/liverpool.html
I’m guessing the reader is not a native speaker as there are simply too many mistakes in pronunciation. English is a very tricky language to master when it comes to reading out aloud. There are so many grammatical anomalies. Understanding of the correct pronunciation is really only mastered thru’ hearing the language over time...
However it was a very brave attempt... Much kudos to you Sir ..!
Wonderful to listen
To audiobooks
Me too!!!!!
This is an interesting adaptation of the Holmes character. It doesn't really follow Doyle's style of Holme's character. Then, maybe it isn't supposed to. The narrator is a good reader, but has sometimes, a too baritone to Holmes and Watson's voices. That, of course, is just me.
Your voice is amazing
Pierre and Marie Curie. Lessons from Physics class 😂😂😂
I too read the comments half way thru story.. please, no more of the butler did it please! can't that comment be removed?
can anyone name the picture used and it's artist?
quoting Joy: If you look in Wikipedia for John Atkinson Grimshaw then click on "A collection of Grimshaw paintings" under Links, I think you will agree this is the main part of the picture by him known as "Liverpool from Wapping". Here is a link www.illusionsgallery.com/liverpool.html
By jove. Our considertions match sir, ha although we are not acquainted sir already i would testify of your impecable taste in cultural matters. The work seems vaguely familiar, but recognise it i do not, does it have a look of Turners work...? I like it & confess i will be attempting a pencil sketch copy .good day to you
A nice story. Far too obvious from far too early for an authentic Holmes tale.
I believe the picture is of the Liverpool dockside
yes indeed
Cool book
I could not bring myself to listen to the story. I was intrigued, mind you, but the narrators manerisms drove me nuts after 20 seconds.
Marikka Sand Me too, the narrator was definitely not English
No,definitely... he's from Kuala Lumpur, idiot! Go read Danielle steel
Marikka
Marikka Sand Zq
James Ross thanapois
The
His got character in his voice very good reading not boring for sure.
This is not a place of honor...
like this reader a lot - thanks :}
How does the daughter of a knight or possibly a baronet, get addressed as Lady Cynthia? She would have to be the daughter of an earl, marquis or duke. The only possibility is that the late Sir Edgar married a Scottish countess in her own right.
Awesome comment! And a good question - I had never thought of that. I do not believe Sir Edgar had the necessary titles, nor do I think his wife was a Scottish countess (though of course possible - I read the whole story, i.e. I did not omit anything - so you know as much as I do). Unfortunately, asking the author will not be possible, as he died in 2007. Could it just have been courtesy on Holmes's part?
Good story. Well read! Thanks for the upload. And your time. ;^)-
I can believe this is Sherlock Holmes 💙 but I'll never believe the NEW Poirot 😠
Good Watson voice. Well read. Are you a doctor?
ahh Spoiler Alert in posts below. *SNAP*
Whilst I enjoy the Holes stories and your reader manages to make some very strage pronounciations on some words. Brooch and viceroy spring to mind. However some atmospheric readings that capture Holmes.

Marie Slodofska = Marie Curie = Madam Curie
If you're into contemporary detective literature you might be interested
in an unusual murder mystery story I've written, entitled HAZARD ON THE LOOSE - which can be found in a volume of my stories entitled SEVEN
TALL TALES; available at Amazon as a book or kindle. It concerns a
businessman, by the name of Jack Hazard, who breaks out of jail,
with outside help, after serving five years of a fifteen year
sentence. He had already promised to murder the four executives
that he claimed had deliberately framed him up and saw him sentenced
on entirely trumped up charges. One by one they are tracked down and
murdered; until only two of the four remain. One of the remaining two
hires the services of two private detectives, to add to the police
protection he has already. Though it is assumed by most people that
Hazard is the murderer the private detectives voice their doubts
about this and reason that Hazard would be far too focused on keeping
a low profile and avoiding recapture - as a large police force is dedicated to that purpose - to pursue some bizarre revenge vendetta. Will events prove them right? But if it isn't Hazard, then who is the actual killer? Could you guess? Happy listening, and reading.
SIR AUTHER CONAN DOYAL
near end: but who cares? Are you a native French speaker by any chance?
+T J Gluckman no, I am German :-)
can you please tell me why country women are always buxom (and this one is lively and smart, for a change), while high class women are always slender, lovely, and smart? especially in 19th and early 20th century novels and stories. drives me nuts.
(and usually the “buxom” country girls are free with their favors, too.)
You should do peg kehret book pppllleeeaaassseee
sorry, can't do that. They are copyrighted.
VISTO 2/6/20
how many pages is the book
Interesting, so basically radiation poisoning by a different name? And a primitive form of chemotherapy?
Yes. Cool, isn't it? They could not call it "radiation poisoning", because science had not yet evolved that far. So basically Holmes had to logically deduce that there must be such a thing, as it was the only explanation for all the facts. That is why I really love this case - his solution predicts the results of those scientists currently working on the subject - that there IS such a thing as radiation :-)
Very cool indeed. A neat short story, thanks for doing an audio reading of the book
+pikewerfer but you said it was written in 97? I like this audio reader, he's very in charge of the story! Thanks for sharing. But dang wish I wouldn't have peeked down here SPOILER ALERT! :)
Try To Cook This Sorry, never realized.... I will put a warning up into the video description :-)
No
I REALLY ENJOYED this reader!
😪😪😴😫
I so agree with the comments about the narrator. The voice sounds false some how and I find it grating. His voice as Holmes is good but his Watson forced me to close the program all three times that I tried to listen to it.
Josefa Villafana I am sorry that you chose to criticize something that cost you nothing, that you didn't have to listen to, and someone took the time to record this for our pleasure. I am not being mean, I just don't know why you have to be negative and potentially hurt the person who has gone to the trouble of making this.
Not bad writing but…
Call me stuffy, but stealing a discovery that took decades of training and years of experimentation to make it an easily-deduced parlor trick is …disrespectful.
The work needed to recognize the unique behavior of radiation found by Becquerel, and the properties and applications discovered and Developed by Marie Curie was significant and cost Marie her life. Add that the story would not have been worse off for having USED their work instead instead treating them like children who would find the toy under the cup “eventually”. Have we not dismissed women’s contributions enough?
Monotonous reading. The reader must attempt to differentiate the vocal mannerisms of the characters in the story. I'm not being discouraging, only I would start again by giving the main characters a voice of their own; In all the Holmes' stories there are TWO main characters, Holmes & Watson! Give them voice and you'll be far more confident.
At 21:25: Some mighty strange pronunciation by uncredited reader!
+Autodidact2 what exactly do you mean? I often get words wrong - which one did I mess up? :-)
You listen to a whole book and that's your response. Pathetic
As an American, I refuse to listen to any audiobook that isn't in an English accent.
The manner in which this is read is far too contrived. It feels like it's about the reader trying to act (and failing) rather than it is about the story.
Wow! This guy really can't do an Irish accent! The bit at 39 mins is particualrly bad.
+Jim Pearson Haha.... I am not even a native speaker, and Irish is pretty hard for me. Sorry for butchering the language :-)
Ha ha. Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. Irish is a tough one.
Hahahaha wtf is this? Come on man😂😂
Not sure I understand your question - it is an apocryphal Sherlock Holmes story. As stated in the description. Is that what you are asking?
Sorry unable to listen to these voices
Sorry! The reader's style is too forced. At first I thought I was listening to a "humorous" spoof episode. I heard two to three sentences & that was sufficient. Then I did read some comments.
Horrible voice, bad intonation. Rubbish lol
Bill yards? Gtfo. This sucks.
Sorry you did not like it. Not being a native speaker sometimes makes it hard to hit the right accent.
Don’t like the narrator. Mr spittlemouth.
I don’t like to hear the sounds of reader’s lips closing opening, dry mouth or swallowing saliva, I would rather enjoy audio books excluding those small annoying sounds from the recording
Terrible reading voice
Yusuf Reyes your rude
The too loud exclamations by the poor narrator are very annoying. DISLIKE
Feel free to not listen
