Sherlock Holmes: The House of Silk

Posted by Magersfontein on November 8, 2011 at 5:39am

Is anyone recording Derek Jacobi's 10-part reading of the new Sherlock Holmes novel, "The House of Silk" by Anthony Horowitz? It's broadcast on weekday evenings on BBC Radio 4 at 10.45pm, in the "Book at Bedtime" slot. I was delayed in London yesterday and didn't get home in time to catch the first episode!

    Hi Roger,

    Here I am, Johnny come lately ready to post it for you and look at the multitudes here ahead of me.  It is truly inspiring the wonderful haven we have here.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------  Rick

      It really is, Rick.  Civil, generous, knowledgeable...  Almost enough to restore one's faith in humanity, until one goes elsewhere on the 'net.

      Indeed it is, Rick!

    The unabridged audio-book is over ten hours long. 

     

    The abridged version is 2.5 hours long.

     

    I highly recommend the unabridged.

     

    Hey, Roger, can you post the audio of your interview after the event is over?  The British Library is a bit out of my way.  :)

      All being well, I shall do so.

    Jake Tucker already has a thread for it in the Holmes section.

     

    It's NOT a great abridgement.

      Thanks to all! What nice people there are at Times Past! 

       

      I have to reserve judgement on the abridgement - and the book itself - as I'll be conducting a public interview with Anthony Horowitz on the 27th November at the British Library - see http://www.bl.uk/whatson/events/event124345.html.

    Shouldn't it be available on the "Listen Again" page for BBC4?

     

    In fact, here's the link for Episode 1.  It will be available for the next six days:

    I'm currently listening to this via Audible, and it's excellent.  A well written pastiche, and Jacobi's narration is top notch.

      Thanks, Jeremy. Yes, we can listen on-line for a limited period, but is anyone recording the broadcasts for the collectors among us?

      Hi Roger,
