Short stories don’t keep me as hooked a longer narrative structure, and I’ve been a rather sporadic reader recently, but no one does mystery quite like the legend himself. I just love a story that ties out neatly!
I just realized that I'm a mood reader and having not enough time and energy to start reading a mystery genre book made me proceed with this decision. Will continue this or start over again with this book when I feel like it.

Watson being continually *shocked* by Sherlock’s deductions despite having solved numerous cases with him is never not hilarious. The audiobook read by Stephen Fry is perfection.
I didn’t like all of the stories but this was a great collection. Even the ones that weren’t my favorite were still enjoyable and concisely written.
Easy to read when short on time and good stories with just enough detail.

Increíble. Maravilloso. Espléndido. (No soy alguien neutral). Te amo mucho Sherlock Holmes, John Watson y Arthur Conan Doyle.
Despite enjoying this book I actually put it down in favour of another book twice! In the first instance, I had read about half of the stories and enjoyed them immensly. However, I found that reading them in such quick succession was limiting my chance to savour each one. So I put the book down and read Persuasion over about 9 days, then happily returned to Holmes. I read all but the last story, then needed to bring a book on the Milford Track. I wasn't going to carry more than one, so it didn't make sense to bring one I was just about to finish. So I put it down again for 4 days in favour of The Turn Of The Screw.
Eventually I finished the book! The last story was worth waiting for too, being quite intriguing and spooky, as many of them were. I have read Holmes before (The Bound of the Haskervilles) which I remember enjoying, but not as much as this. Each tale was suspenseful, clever, fun and intriguing. I won't mention each story by name (I'm quite tired), but having looked through them again I was happily able to recall each one by it's name. I will enthusiastically look out for Holmes again.
I got this one as the Brisbane Bookfest.
