Ich liebe diese Serie. In diesem Band ist die Dynamik zwischen den Charakteren besonders schön, sowohl zwischen Holmes und Watson als auch zwischen den beiden und ihren Freunden von der Polizei. Der arme Lestrade bekommt jede Menge britischen Humor ab :D

I had the opportunity to take part in Letters from Watson, where the short stories of Sherlock Holmes were emailed out in (more or less) chronological order. Having read about half of them, this was a wonderful chance to revisit the stories. The best known story in this collection is by far "The Adventure of the Empty House," which features the, um, *return* of Sherlock Holmes.
