This Sherlock book was my favorite in the series so far, I was really invested at parts of it!
Especially the last case had me sooo curious!

".. and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women. But I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honorable title of The Woman"

Being mean to Mr Lestrade is Sherlock's favorite pastime:

"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. Besides, we may change to hit upon some other obvious facts which may have been by no means obvious to Mr Lestrade"

"I find it hard enough to tackle facts, Holmes. Without flying away after theories and fancies."-"You are right", said Sherlock Holmes demurely, "You do find it very hard to tackle the facts."
