A review by tacanderson
The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

4.0

I've been trying to read the Sherlock Holmes book in chronological order (I did jump ahead and read Hound of the Baskervilles) and it's been interesting to watch Doyle's writing evolve ever so slightly. Sherlock becomes more and more clinical and more a flawed character in his inability to relate to people. I wonder if this was conscious or subconscious because at the end of nearly every collection Watson writes something about this being the end (or Doyle just plain kills him off). But I think that's what makes Sherlock such an endearing character; his flaws.

I love these stories, and I'm never disappointed. they just keep getting better.
