A lovely little series of readings with Tom Conte called"Christmas With The Detectives", 2006 from BBC Radio 2. There are 4 episodes and here are the first 2. Nothing like a little mayhem and brilliant detecting to start the Holiday season off right.
Episode 1 - The Blue Carbuncle
Episode 2 - The Thieves Who Couldn't Help Sneezing

Great stuff. The Blue Carbuncle for me and the Thomas Hardy one for my mother.
Just a quick summary of the four stories:
1/4. In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, The Blue Carbuncle, Sherlock Holmes investigates the theft of a diamond.
2/4. In Thomas Hardy's Wessex, horse thieves and house breakers are roaming the moors in The Thieves Who Couldn't Help Sneezing.
3/4. Dorothy L Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey investigates a theft at a county house party in The Necklace of Pearls.
4/4. GK Chesterton's Father Brown investigates a jewel theft that happens during a pantomime in The Flying Stars.
Thank You Sir. ------------------------------------------------------ Rick
I know the first and fourth stories -- I look forward to hearing what episodes two and three have in store for us.
These are entertaining, fireside tales. Thank you for posting them.
I listened to this series last night.
Good fun.
Thanks for sharing.
