MR Justice Raffles by E. W. Hornung

funny lighthearted tense medium-paced

3.5

Probably shouldn't have had this as my first experience of reading Raffles, but I enjoyed it well enough. The story was cleverly crafted and it took me a little bit to come to know Raffles and Bunny, but I grew fond of them rather quickly. I really enjoyed their relationship, and certainly saw the similarities to Holmes & Watson. I will say, that there are elements of this that have aged rather poorly, when looked at through modern eyes, especially the descriptions of the character Dan Levy which made for uncomfortable reading, as well as some unsavoury language choices.
