What I liked:
- The fact that I never knew what the solution to each story would be in advance
- The excellent writing
- The way words that mean something different today are used quite naturally (this is something I like in classics generally) like to ejaculate or to knock somebody up, which obviously used to mean to wake someone in the morning
What I didn't like as much:
At times there was a lot of telling and not much showing. However, this is in the nature of detective stories that there has to be interviews with different people.
I really enjoyed this short story collection and my favourite story was The Adventure of the Engineer's thumb.
