I have been a fan of both the RDJ movies and the BBC tv-series with Benedict Cumberbatch. So I thought It was finally time for me to sit down a read Sherlock Holmes! I really liked it! I like how you can tell that the first episode of the tv-series had an inspiration from the first part of this book! Now! That might just be me, but the second half was kinda confusing me why it was there until the last chapter of the book! I also had the honour of listening to the audiobook which is narrated by Stephen Fry! Really loved it! He did something fantastic to the story!

I feel like somebody recorded Warren Jeffs over my Monk episode.
