The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

2.0

---

Since these stories were written the character of Holmes and his various mysteries, as portrayed in modern adaptations, have rendered these early stories rather crude. They are eminently readable; however, although I do not doubt their importance in popularising the mystery genre, I can't shake off the fact that these stories just feel too predictable and the characters too shallow by today's standards.
