I'm continuing with my journey through the Sherlock Holmes books. Today started listening to The Valley of Fear, read by Simon Vance, who is one of my favourite narrators. He really brought Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel to life for me.
Who are your favourite narrators and for which books? #favouritenarrators
DGRachel Barbara Rosenblatt does the best job on the Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters; Davina Porter is incredible as the narrator for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series; Frank Muller is excellent in everything he does - he narrated the first audiobook I ever listened to, which I'm pretty sure was one of LeCarre's Smiley novels; once I got used to him, I've come to really enjoy Tim Gerard Reynolds (Pierce Brown's Red Rising trilogy and 👇🏻 8y
DGRachel ...Michael J Sullivan's Riyria series) 8y
DGRachel Then there are actors with incredible voices that I could listen to as they read the phone book - particularly David Tennant and Richard Armitage. Oh, and Jim Dale is fabulous as the narrator for all of the Harry Potter books and narrates my favorite version of A Christmas Carol. 8y

Andrew65 @DGRachel Jim Dale was also great with The Night Circus. Davina Porter does do a great job too. Not heard David Tennant do a narration but I'm sure it would be a wonderful experience.Also enjoyed Carolyn McCormick reading The Hunger Games. And all the narrators from The Help were fantastic. 8y
RaimeyGallant What a great idea! Sherlock on audio. I should do that. 8y
Andrew65 @RaimeyGallant I got the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes for 1 Audible Credit, all of his books for one credit I thought was great value. Over 58 hours! So been working my way through them over the past few months. 8y
RaimeyGallant Good tip:) 8y
melrailey I'm working through Sherlock right now too! But I'm using Serial Reader and my old paperbacks. (edited) 8y
