The Darlington Substitution ScandalType of material: CD Author: David Stuart Davies, read by David Ian Davies Publisher: One Voice Recordings, 16835 Halper Street, Encino, CA 91436, USA; e-mail: ddavies858@aol.com) Year: 2003 Pages: Price: Review: In The Darlington Substitution Scandal David Stuart Davies fleshes out a brief remark made by Sherlock Holmes in A Scandal in Bohemia. The story is read, or rather acted, with remarkable virtuosity and panache by the author's near-namesake, David Ian Davies. With credible characters, an ingenious plot and an atmosphere of excitement, we are plunged once again into that romantic chamber of the heart, that nostalgic country of the mind, where it is always 1895. What more could we wish for? The CD also includes David Stuart Davies’s story‘The Reichenbach Secret, a credible reinterpretation of The Final Problem.
