Editorial reviews

Why have two brothers died after receiving letters marked "KKK"? Were their deaths truly accidental? What is the significance of the five orange pips that accompanied the letters? Why has the son of one of the brothers received a similar letter? Narrator David Timson's solid performance keeps the story's events driving forward energetically as the great detective Sherlock Holmes puzzles out the case. Timson gives Holmes an incisive, unruffled voice that spins observations and hypotheses effortlessly, matched by Dr. Watson's lively, inquisitive tone.

Interesting short story.

Brilliantly narrated version of this captivating yet, lesser known Holmes story, easy listening and well worth the purchase.
