Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
5.0
I was first introduced to Sherlock Holmes through the excellent Disney Classic, The Great Mouse Detective. I have watched many of the recent film and tv iterations of Holmes, but it was so fun to finally read some of the original works.
I love that the stories are bite sized, and never above 40 pages or so, so that I don’t have to lose sleep wondering what will happen, which is a reason I often avoid many mysteries and thrillers. I love how clever these are, and once the puzzle is solved how it all makes sense. They can be spooky without being gory. The language and writing is beautiful. I can see myself coming back to these and enjoying them again in the future. My kind of mystery!
