LibriVox recording of The Amateur Cracksman, by E.W. Hornung. Read by Kristin Hughes.
“I'd tasted blood, and it was all over with me. Why should I work when I could steal? Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger and a decent living were all going begging together?” - A. J. Raffles, The Ides of March.
The Amateur Cracksman is the first collection of stories about A. J. Raffles, gentleman, cricketer, and thief. After stopping his old school friend, Bunny Manders, from a desperate attempt at suicide, Raffles introduces the unsuspecting Bunny to a new way of earning a living, burglary. Though frequently horrified by Raffles's actions, the conscience-stricken Bunny stands by him through all their adventures, firm to his promise, “When you want me, I'm your man!” (Summary by Kristin Hughes)

Decent book, good recording
The Raffles stories aren't as rereadable and iconic as the Holmes stories, but they're interesting nonetheless. The reader for these recordings is female, with a smooth voice and a clear, deliberate reading style. She does a great, grim, sinister Raffles and a soft, weak, almost simpering Bunny. The characters are simple and archtypical, so there's not a lot of room for depth, but she doesn't make them into caricatures of themselves.

Delightful
Get in touch with your darkside. Well read and extremely intriguing stories. The ongoing story of two friends and their adventures in survival in late 19th century England. Very enjoyable!!
