This was a delightful romp; I preferred it to Holmes. But while there are the more Raffles books, Rintoul doesn't narrate them and the only complete series I could find at Audible does the stories out of order. I think I'll give the Librivox version a try, although I don't think a woman's voice is ideal for the male narrator. If I don't like it, I'll read the rest of the volumes in the nice edition available here at MR.
Next up in my waterproof player is
Lost for Words by Edward St. Auburn, his spoof of the Booker Prize. But in a weak moment I went ahead and loaded
The Far Side of the World onto my player, so we'll see if I can resist temptation.
