Holmes was just wonderfully pretentious here. Watson also remained quite innocent and this is probably what I'll remember best because the plot didn't stand out in any way. A lot of the characters' views were clearly from the 19th century, but that's how it was supposed to be, so I liked it. Overall, I won't remember anything from this book, but I'm glad I continued reading the series.

These new audiobooks, read by Stephen Fry, are so enjoyable. Each story comes with a short introduction about its place in the overall Holmes chronology. The stories are solid (obviously) and Fry is a great narrator.
