Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0970802226, Audio CD)

This is a rich month for audio books. In the Darlington Substitution Scandal David Stuart Davies fleshes out a brief remark made by Sherlock Holmes in A Scandal In Bohemia

The story is read or rather acted with remarkable virtuosity and panache by the author's near namesake, David Ian Davies with credible characters and ingenious plot, and an atmosphere of excitement we are plunged once again into that romantic chamber of the heart, that nostalgic country of the mind, where it is always 1895. What more could we wish for? The CD also includes DSD's story The Reichenbach Secret, a credible interpretation of the Final Problem.
