Actually from the Delphi Classics Complete Arthur Conan Doyle. About the 5th time I’ve been through the Holmes opus. Last time was over 20 years ago.
Always fun.

This series took me so long to finish, but it was totally worth it! I loved every story, especially 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' and the short story 'The Adventure of Charles August Milverton'. I watched the BBC series Sherlock on Netflix and really enjoyed it. All the episodes are loosely based on some of the cases they solve in the books.

I finished all of the Sherlock Holmes’ cases and I don’t know why I feel like crying, I’m so happy to have read them and if it weren’t for BBC’s Sherlock I might never have done it. I really liked it.

My favorites cases:

  • Study in Scarlet.

  • The Speckled Band

  • The Noble Bachelor

  • The Beryl Coronet

  • The Copper Beeches

  • The Musgrave Ritual

  • The Final Problem

  • The Empty House

  • The Dancing Men

  • Charles Augustus Milverton

  • The Six Napoleons

  • The Hounds of the Baskervilles

  • The Bruce-Partington Plans

  • The Dying Detective

  • The Devil’s Foot

  • His Last Bow

  • The Mazarin Stone

  • The Three Garridebs

  • The Lion’s Mane

  • The Veiled Lodger
