So far my favourite of the Sherlock Holmes books - I'm working my way through from first to last. Holmes doesn't appear much, Dr Watson, our trusty narrator also did most of the work on this one. Maybe because it's a novel, rather than a short mystery there was more time to fill in the detail so it was more satisfying.

I’ve always loved Sherlock Holmes and wanted to read the books. I’m now very glad that I did. The writing style still feels fresh even though it’s from a different century and the way the story unfolds made me want to keep on reading. Highly recommend.

I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I prefer Holmes in movie form.
