The first Sherlock Holmes short story I have read, and it was not a disappointment. A great read for around the holidays and you’re busy and don’t want to commit to larger novels. This still has the feel of his novels, just solving one short case involving a Christmas goose.

Just always had a soft spot for this one. Definitely the most Holmes has ever been in the Christmas spirit.

As mentioned, I find myself addicted to Sherlock Holmes stories! They are fast paced, creative, endearing, and fun!

Audible Stephen Fry

My first Sherlock read.

Plot was kind of underwhelming but the writing was lovely and Stephen Fry made it 10 times better
