Dr. Mortimer: "It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull."
HA!!!
Perfectly paced, grabbed me into trying to deduce for myself what was happening on the way, I look forward to reading more of the Holmes' stories.
And I really enjoyed "The Whole Story" idea of this version - with photos, illustrations, and little tidbits in the margins to further pull readers into the story and give a greater understanding. Would be good to check out the many others in this series.

Tal vez se deba al hecho de que sea el primero libro que tengo la dicha de conocer de la saga Sherlock Holmes, pero quede impresionada, todo el tiempo la historia lograba atraparme hasta el punto de transportar mi mente a aquel lugar. La narración era tal que logre ponerme en los zapatos de Watson, en verdad me hacia sentir parte de aquella historia; y que decir del mismísimo Holmes, me pareció un personaje excepcional, a pesar de no tener como un elemento fantástico, me pareció intrigante la forma en que observaba y tenía en cuenta cada detalle para al final conecta todo y resolver el caso, además de su personalidad tan excéntrica puedo decir con certeza que me encanto, incluso puedo afirmar que se volvera de los mejores personajes que he tenido el gusto de leer

Best pacing in the series by far. Really eerie atmosphere. Funny as hell (Holmes’ trick on Watson). Really great cast of characters, all very interesting and well constructed. Felt like one of the best mysteries in the series, one the reader was given the tools to actually solve. Amazing ending
"Arthur what's with this dog motif?"
"Do you have something against dogs?"
"Do you have something against dogs?"
Geh, of course this is great. Duh. No wonder fans called this the best Sherlock Holmes case. This one really put you on the edge of your seat like there is always something important that happened in each chapter so none of the chapters felt like it's just a filler or something. I really like the emotional roller coaster I experienced when they're closing in on the killer. Great book!
