The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volumes 1-4 (The Heirloom Collection) by Arthur Conan Doyle

3.0

I've finally finished my listen/read of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. It took me almost 5 months to listen to the entire 56 hours on and off. I have mixed opinions about it. On the one hand the cases are usually tightly constructed and well plotted. On the other hand there's not as much character development/growth as I typically like in my books. Watson doesn't seem to grow over time. He's incredibly dense even after years of working with Holmes. I was also frustrated with the casual racism and stereotyping Sir Arthur Conan Doyle engages in. In general I feel like the short stories are better the novels.
