DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Decided to dnf (pause) this for now. Listening to the whole volume lasting 62+ hrs is a bit overwhelming for now. 

Will definitely pick this up again book by book.

Review - I really enjoyed the early stories, but I think that some of the later ones seemed to lose the plot a bit. I think my favourite was A Study in Scarlet, because I liked how Sherlock and Dr Watson were getting to know each other, and Sherlock could do things that would shock and wow Watson, and I think that was handled really well. I definitely think that the actual stories were better than the short stories, because there was more time to explore the characters and the mysteries.
