Achei este livro bastante interessante.
Nunca tinha lido nada relativo a Sherlock Holmes e fiquei com vontade de prosseguir com os restantes livros.
Este livro é composto por 12 contos narrados por Watson, o médico, que auxilia Holmes, o detective, nos seus casos peculiares.
Por mais simples que pareça o caso em questão no início acaba sempre por ter um desfecho imprevisto e a sua resolução ser sempre muito curiosa devido aos métodos de dedução lógica utilizados por Holmes.
É um livro de fácil leitura e que mantém o leitor entretido e curioso a cada página.

I had the opportunity to take part in Letters from Watson, where the short stories of Sherlock Holmes were emailed out in (more or less) chronological order. Having read about half of them, this was a wonderful chance to revisit the stories. This set of short stories is a very good introduction to the character.

Classic stories and great narration from Derek Jacobi.
Wonderful! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is really and truly a master of mystery. However, there were only about 1 or 2 unmemorable stories amongst the 12. Otherwise, Conan Doyle has kept me enthralled, and the characters of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are stunningly written.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before....
Thank you Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection on Audiobook.

I absolutely ADORE this book and the author. Just WOW. Omg.
The Scandal of Bohemia is hilarious and honestly Irene Adler is such a complex and dear character to the Sherlock Holes series.
The Red-Headed League is honestly beyond hilarious and ingenuity is ridiculously clever. I just love it and I loooovveeee this mystery so much. If you don't pick this book up, read this one.
A Case of Identity is incredibly clever and dark. I love it.
The Boscombe Valley Mystery is soooooo clever and morally demanding.
The Five Orange Pips is honestly synonymous with warnings and gangs and terrifying warnings.
The Man with the Twisted Lip I adored this one too. The crime and mystery is so clever and absorbing. I would never have guessed. Neville St. Clair is such a smart cookie.
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is very interesting and again Holmes becomes judge, jury and executioner. How morally conflicting now but how easy for Holmes.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band is one of my favourites too. The foreboding nature of the stepfather and the room terrified me. I also hate something in this cause it creeps me out.
I like The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb but I do find the ending a shame.
With The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor , I felt it was cute but sad but interesting.
A bit of incest with an interesting mystery for The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet .
Finally, I really enjoyed The Adventure of the Copper Beeches and true love prevails. Yipppeeee!!!!
An honest must-read for any mystery fan.
I adore this one. I really do. There's so many different stories, so many different emotions and so many different twists and turns.

3,5/5 estrellas
Recopilación de aventuras del famosísimo detective Sherlock Holmes y compañero el Dr. John Watson. Las historias son atraoantes y los misterios con los que se encuentran los dos protagonistas son de no creer. A pesar de esto, puedo notar que de las historias del libro, cuatro son muy similares entre sí, es por esta misma razón por la que no puede otorgarle 4 estrellas. Sigue siendo una lectura recomendada, sobretodo para lectores jovenes.
