Faye's stories are, as ever, excellent and I had a great time revisiting them. The stories themselves are 4 stars. I did not like the audiobook narrator, though. While his Holmes voice and Watson voice were fine, his voices for women were universally kind of bad, and anytime he tried to do a different accent, it was a little cringey. I need audiobook narrators with deeper voices to learn that not all women need to be represented with a high-pitched, fluttery, whispery voice. Please.
