Free Neil Gaiman Audiobook

HarperCollins Audio are offering a free audiobook download of the Neil Gaiman short story, 'A Study in Emerald', read by the bestselling author.


A Study in Emerald is an Hugo Award winning short story by bestselling author, Neil Gaiman and is available from HarperCollins in both audiobook and e-book formats as a free download from their website. As the title suggests, there is a nod to Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet with some surprising twists. Neil Gaiman is a prolific writer and his book, Stardust, has recently been turned into a successful Hollywood blockbuster. This is an enjoyable audiobook and is certainly recommended to people interested in Neil Gaiman's work, Sherlock Holmes fans and anyone looking for an unusual murder mystery audiobook.

The free audiobook can be found on the HarperCollins website. More information about Neil Gaiman can be found on his website

The audiobook is read by Neil Gaiman who has a pleasing reading syle. Authors reading their own work can sometimes bring an added depth and meaning to the words - another great example of an author reading his work is On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. This review takes a look at On Chesil Beach in more detail.
