It is one of the most loved of all the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and I can see why. It's fast, intriguing and suspenseful. Though you do have doubts over certain characters being the antagonist they never get confirmed outright before the finale, which is the epitome of a suspense novel. A fine addition to my collection.

Good and appealing but a bit predictible

First ever Sherlock Holmes book and I loved it so much! It was super fun and charming and slightly spooky, I wish I had read this in October but I really enjoyed it.

I had read many Sherlock Holmes books decades ago and have since enjoyed many mysteries. Listening to the book was a new but enjoyable and thrilling reminder of the amazing writing talent of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
