This was fantastic. It was so satisfying to read everything Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Sherlock Holmes in chronological order. Stephen Fry is an amazing narrator and he made the experience so much better that it would be if I just read. I loved how he wrote foreword to every book, which had a lot of information I didn't know about history and process of Sherlock becoming one of the most famous characters.

For the past two months this book has been my nightly companion. I started reading it in early January and have finished it here at the end of February, and now I can say that I have read the complete Sherlock Holmes canon by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Simply the greatest mystery/detective stories ever written.
I feel like anything I say about the eponymous series of Sherlock Holmes is positively and wonderfully biased towards it
so I'm not going to say anything at all

Doyle's stories are wonderful. Granted, some are better than others. But I love reading them. Not difficult; enjoyable and intriguing.
This collection was quite a mixed bag for me, seeing that I loved some of the stories and loathed some others. Overall I am very glad I finally read it. I read it partially via audiobook, which definitely helped to get through it.
Absolutely awesome!!
Stephen Fry does an incredible job reading these stories.
