The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

It's Sherlock Holmes! Each tale is new and enjoyable. It is always fun to put yourself in Sherlock's shoes and try to solve the mystery (of course, Doyle omits many details that are needed, but you can always make entertaining guesses!). Another fun read.

What can I say about the second anthology of Mr. Sherlock Holmes? Eleven stories: some outstanding, some good, some okay ... I guess that seems to be the way with collections. Overall? Delightful. My favorites include "Silver Blaze", "The Musgrave Ritual", "The Greek Interpreter" (hello, Mycroft!), and of course, "The Final Problem" (let's kill off Sherlock and see how the public reacts!). A joy to reread. #againandagain

I enjoyed this collection of 11 short stories just as much as the full length Sherlock Holmes novels I had previously read. They are quick reads and although have similar occurrences in some of the stories they each had something different as the main appealing factor. the most significant change from prior stories is the introduction of Sherlock's brother Wycroft and his famous adversary Professor Moriarty. I'd recommend this compilation to any Sherlock fan and also to any lover of a good mystery
