Released on April 1, 2010, by Saland Publishing, this collection offers two intriguing tales that showcase the legendary detective and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson.
The album kicks off with "Murder Beyond The Mountains," an episode originally aired on January 14, 1946. This classic mystery sees Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson venturing into the wilds of the Swiss Alps to solve a baffling case of murder and intrigue. Rathbone's commanding presence and Bruce's steadfast support bring these iconic characters to life, immersing the audience in a world of suspense and deduction.
The second track, "The Book of Tobit," offers a unique twist, as it is not a typical Sherlock Holmes adventure. Instead, it presents a biblical tale brought to life by Rathbone's powerful narration. This lesser-known story provides a fascinating contrast to the first track, showcasing the versatility of the legendary actor.
