It's not mean to expect words to be pronounced correctly.

'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.

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. :) 🌷🌱

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.

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

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.

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.

Love the picture. Good story, well narrated. Sherlock Holmes has always been a favorite. 😊

Listened to this while doing homework. A great recommendation

Remarkable story nicely narrated.

+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

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.

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?

Well read: there were some reading errors e.g. was mispronounced for example; maybe 4 others. But doesn't spoil general favourable impression

I diagnosed the cause long before Dr Watson was enlightened. My physics courses were not in vain!

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.

Cool book

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 ..!

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.

can anyone name the picture used and it's artist?

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?

A nice story. Far too obvious from far too early for an authentic Holmes tale.

This is not a place of honor...

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.

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 :-)

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.

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?

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.

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.
