50 The Illustrious Client from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927) Audiobook
Ойын-сауық
The Adventure of the Illustrious Client is one of the twelve stories published as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in June 1927. This particular story was first published in the US in Collier's in November 1924, and in The Strand Magazine in February March 1925 in the UK.
It reminds me of The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton, which you might like to listen to on this channel.
It is read by Greg Wagland.

Fantastic work Mr Wagland. You've got me through two years of fighting cancer. Helped me through long nights in hospital and sleepless ones at home. Massive thanks all the way from Australia!

I found these recordings in the same unfortunate circumstances (dealing with cancer). Hope you are well now. I’ve just retired and travelling Greece with my wife. Hope life is good for you too!
Greg Wagland! Thank you. Your readings are a huge comfort to those of us who live alone and need to hear a comforting and friendly voice. Thank you
How can anyone dislike these stories?! I get so excited when a new one comes out. Thank you for my night time stories

Wagland does a terrific job narrating the stories. It's that Doyle's stories are uneven. Some are well constructed and literarily well executed. Others are either thin or ridiculously improbable or just not very interesting or arresting. Some are just silly. Wagland does bring them all to life with more flair than some of them deserve but his contribution is terrific and he has surely proved himself to be Doyle's finest interpreter.
I exceptionally loved how you read this one, and I also recently found out i can't listen to anyone else reading anymore...
It’s amazing to me how these stand the test of time. Many thanks again for providing hours of entertainment.
I am listening through covid 19 times. Thank you very much.fantastic work.
Another beautiful reading from a loyal friend and a chivalrous gentleman. Thank you so much for sharing.

Absolutely excellent rendition sir. Thank you for what you have done with your readings here. A true service to the public. You really bring the stories to life.
You posted this five minutes ago and already two people dislike it. You must have some spiteful enemies, Mr. Wagland.. jealous of your excellent story-telling. Some rivals with sub-par voices I should wager! Good job as ever. Must be an awful burden to be consistently top notch! I know I am not the only one who appreciates your wordsmithery, but it is I who doffs my hat to you here and now!

I search through other story channels from time to time. Yet I always find myself going back to hanging out with my familiar "friend" Greg. Listening to your narration of one of Sherlock's case files, or adventures, or The Beetle, for the fourth, ninth, and ,even perhaps fourteenth time!! Your work has become a source of stability for me during a season of painand instability. You're truly part of my recovery! That's a special gift.

Mr wangland i came across your audios only in this quarantine period. It has been such an enriching experience. I was never a sherlock Holmes fan but your magical voice has made me go head over heels both with Holmes and ofcourse your beautiful and outstanding narration. If ever I would imagine Holmes and Dr Watson to be existent,, they would certainly have your voice. Love and respect from India.
I always save these for when I'm in the perfect mood in a comfortable chair and basically with my smoking jacket and brandy ( in my head). Then I just sit back and I am transported by the most beautiful voice. Thank you as always Greg. 🌹🌹🌹

Acid attacks are horrific and I am lucky that they are uncommon where I live. I have had a chemistry teacher who had his arm burned by mistake. He always rolled up his sleeve to show each class why PPE is important- he had been wearing his and his injuries weren’t life threatening but he had a beaker explode and had acid and glass over his left forearm. It took a few months to heal and he has some impressive scarring
It's the changing voice that breaks the story up so well. The characters are in the room but I don't have to turn my head or take a cab. The ex-lovers voice with its venom - just great!
Another great read, thanks Greg.

Baron Adalbert Gruner is the perfect model for a James Bond villain: “An excellent antagonist, cool as ice, silky voice […] and poisonous as a cobra. He has breeding in him, a real aristocrat of crime with a superficial suggestion of afternoon tea and all the cruelty of the grave behind it.” Donald Pleasence as Ernst Blofeld comes to mind.
As always, you really do such justice to these stories with your phenomenal voice! Thank you, hope you are doing well!
