Sherlock Holmes Short Stories narrated by Hugh Bonneville. A woman struck dead after hearing a haunting whistle. A series of child-like drawings scrawled throughout a country estate.

Have LOVED and subscribed to this show for years, but listening to the Vatican episodes, seems like they’ve added a clumpsy AI second narrator :(. Hope it’s a one-off, or I’ll unsubscribe
