The mystery is afoot again as Sherlock Holmes sallies forth observing the minutest of details and clues in each of these cases, leaving poor Watson, the inspectors, and the listener feeling like inept amateurs. Burglars, murders, blackmailers, straying spouses--no one can outsmart our favorite sleuth. By the time you have heard the last tale, your own powers of observation will have increased tenfold, you will carry a pipe in your herringbone tweed cape, wear a jaunty cap, and have developed the knack for solving any case. Fun for all ages. Sunnie Grant, Mgr., Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ipswich, MA
