Generally considered one of the best and most memorable Sherlock story, but I shockingly didn't like it! I found it to be fast-paced but a bit boring, Sherlock himself is more than a little unlikeable throughout this story, and the mystery had no real mystery (at least, I didn't feel like it kept me guessing, which is my personal gauge for mysteries). I generally like Sherlock Holmes, and this is the first I've read in many years, so I'm interested to see how I feel going back to some of the other ones!
