Thoroughly readable and classic stories. Whilst Holmes is an amazing creation a critical modern eye frequently undermines some of the leaps of logic that Holmes is credited with. However it is more than easy to ignore these and just enjoy the stories. They’re fun.

I was debating between 3 or 4 stars. It was definitely interesting and fun to read. But it wasn't monumental or life changing so I went with 3 stars. Definitely worth the short time to read it.

As I'm reading these in order, I can say that this is his best work so far. The stories are somewhat hit and miss in terms of how interesting they are and how well they display Holmes signature deductive powers, but on the while they are more hit than miss!
