3.5/5

Ich fand die Kurzgeschichten spannend. Allerdings schlaucht es auf Dauer etwas, da alle den gleichen Ablauf folgen... Dadurch ist es doch sehr repetitiv. Es aufzuteilen und nur ab und zu eine Geschichte lesen hilft da ganz gut.

The first story was a cop out, the guy just fell in shock, no actual murder happened and whilst I do appreciate it in retrospect at the time of reading, it was a let down to have the first story end like that. The second story was a bit pointless since there were no suspects so we didn’t really get to see any of that deductive reasoning Sherlock and his brother possess, they were just running around like headless chickens or ‘like the faithful bloodhound’ as Poirot would put it. The last story was the best and whilst the culprit ends up being the only person Sherlock hasn’t mentioned as a potential suspect to Watson it was good, there were multiple suspects and Sherlock laid a nice little trap for them.
