Download The Newly-Discovered Sherlock Holmes Story as a Free Audio Book

Quick fyi: A cou­ple weeks ago, the lit­er­ary world gasped when a lost Sher­lock Holmes sto­ry was appar­ent­ly dis­cov­ered in an attic in Scot­land. Read it online here. It has­n’t been com­plete­ly con­firmed that the sto­ry came from the pen of Arthur Conan Doyle. Some experts still have their doubts. But even so, the fine folks at Audi­ble have pro­duced an audio record­ing of the sto­ry, nar­rat­ed by the award-win­ning narrator/actor Simon Vance. You can down­load it for free at Audi­ble (on the con­di­tion that you cre­ate a user­name and pass­word).

It’s also worth not­ing that if you start a 30-day free tri­al with Audi­ble, you can down­load two free audio books, includ­ing many con­tem­po­rary best­sellers. At the end of the 30 days, you can join Audi­ble’s sub­scrip­tion ser­vice, or you can can­cel. Either way, you can keep the two free audio books. Get more details here.
