Fairly straightforward but fun short stories.
At times they did feel a little repetitive and same-y, but it was still enjoyable reading the various mysteries that Holmes solved.

Short stories don’t keep me as hooked a longer narrative structure, and I’ve been a rather sporadic reader recently, but no one does mystery quite like the legend himself. I just love a story that ties out neatly!
I just realized that I'm a mood reader and having not enough time and energy to start reading a mystery genre book made me proceed with this decision. Will continue this or start over again with this book when I feel like it.

Watson being continually *shocked* by Sherlock’s deductions despite having solved numerous cases with him is never not hilarious. The audiobook read by Stephen Fry is perfection.
