The voices of A Case of Identity
5 voices in A Case of Identity by Arthur Conan Doyle. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.
- Narrator — Watson's first-person literary narration — warm, adventurous, admiring of Holmes.
- Sherlock Holmes — The world's only consulting detective. Razor-sharp analytical mind, cold precision, theatrical wit. Alternates between lethargy and explosive energy. Speaks in crisp, certain pronouncements.
- Dr. Watson — Holmes's loyal friend and biographer. A former army surgeon, warm, practical, earnest. Speaks with admiration for Holmes and genuine concern for clients.
- Mary Sutherland — A short-sighted, over-talkative typist and client in A Case of Identity. Naive, trusting, and convinced her missing fiancé will return.
- James Windibank — Mary Sutherland's cold, calculating stepfather — secretly disguised as her fiancé Hosmer Angel to control her inheritance. Unmasked by Holmes but untouchable by law.
