 I've spent 2023 (re)reading all the Sherlock Holmes shorts stories (in audio form) and I'm glad to have finally read this final book. It has some really good and memorable stories - "The Illustrious Client" and "The Three Garridebs" are two great/important ones.

I was surprised at how many classic characters, concepts and quotes from the Sherlock Holmes world only appear in this one, this late in the canon. To give just one example, this wonderful telegram from Holmes to his Watson:

"Come at once if convenient—if inconvenient come all the same."
