I liked this less than most of the Sherlock stories - but it was very funny! Haha less mysterious than others.
"He curled himself up in his chair, with his thin knees drawn up to his hawk-like nose, and there he sat with his eyes closed and his black clay pipe thrusting out like the bill of some strange bird. I had come to the conclusion that he had dropped asleep, and indeed was nodding myself, when he suddenly sprang out of his chair with the gesture of a man who has made up his mind and put his pipe down upon the mantelpiece."
I had no idea what to expect at the start of this short story, but it definitely did not disappoint.
This one was funny more than anything else. Not the greatest mystery I’ve ever read, but the stakes are always higher than they initially seem.
I liked this one but I rated it three stars because I liked A Scandal in Bohemia so I separated the two based on ranking. I only read The Red-headed League as well, although I think this version on goodreads is a collection
