Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Idiot Who Can't Remember a Book She Read 3 Years Ago.

Yep.

Apparently, I REALLY hated it back then. I didn't hate it this time, but it is MORE than obvious that these stories weren't written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The style is all wrong.

Enjoyable enough, but super predictable. And Benedict's voice is lovely, as ever.

Pretty average Holmes stories. Not bad, just not great either, though pretty well written. :)

Did I only pick this up because Benedict Cumberbatch is the narrator? Perhaps....But it's still a cute set of mystery stories. The twists and reveals of some of them are obvious, but they are still solid.
