A Study in ScarletType of material: Audio Cassettes or CDs Author: Arthur Conan Doyle, read by David Timson Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks, 18 High Street, Welwyn, Herts. AL6 9EQ Year: 2002 Pages: Price: four cassettes (£11.99) or four CDs (£16.99) Review: It’s always a pleasure to listen to the mellow voice of David Timson, who has already recorded twelve of the short stories. Now he reads A Study in Scarlet, unabridged. His pacing is impeccable, his characterisation superb, and, as ever, the recording is enhanced by well-chosen music - this time by Dvorak and Hubert Parry - chosen from the Naxos catalogue by the producer Nicolas Soames. This excellent unabridged reading is available on four cassettes or four CDs with informative sleeve notes by David Timson. Reviewed by: Roger Johnson, [District Messenger 220, 2002]
