The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes, #4) by Arthur Conan Doyle

4.0

I’ve read a fair amount of Sherlock Holmes this year, and to be honest, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes doesn’t stick out much. Perhaps it’s the format that got to me; if I’m recalling correctly, this was the collection of stories where the backstories were delivered by Holmes to Watson. I far prefer when they seem to be taking place in the moment rather than reflected upon after the fact. However, I do tend to prefer the short story collections to the novels, and the same thing rings true here. This is an unmissable collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures for any fan of the classic mystery.
