Listeners are sure to be familiar with Sherlock Holmes and could well know G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown. How many, though, know Anna Katharine Green's Miss Violet Strange? Angela Brazil brings a light touch to the woman who conducts her investigations with little notice until the final revelations. Elsewhere, Simon Vance brings a caper from Maurice LeBlanc's Arsene Lupin to meticulous life. The 14 stories will give many listeners their first introductions to vintage detectives both famous and forgotten. If that's not enough, there's a witty Holmes parody from Bret Harte, read with the clueless voice of a Watson-like narrator by Mauro Hantman. This collection will satisfy listeners whose mystery bug has been piqued by recent Holmes mania. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
