iconic characters, I’m obsessed with them, fun mysteries, more made for reading one or two stories once a while than everything in one go

This short story, more than many other Sherlock Holmes short stories that I read, had the ability to make me really feel what Dr Watson felt. When Dr Watson was utterly baffled, I was also confused and when he was marvelling at Sherlock’s genius, so was I. This book was a really nice crime story, stringing together several seemingly unrelated scenarios in a satisfying manner once the deduction process was revealed at the end.

Between his talent and the fact that he is an ardent Sherlockian, Stephen Fry is the perfect reader for these books. My only disappointment is the fact that the Casebook is not included, but after some Googling I have a hunch, although it's not specifically mentioned that I can find, that there may be copyright issues involved. An added bonus, however, is the brief introductions provided by Mr. Fry for each volume.

Well it only took six years but I finally finished this. Sort of a grab bag in terms of quality, but a lot of fun stories. Would be better without all the casual misogyny and racism but I guess that's a big ask for books from this era.
