In a way I’m not entirely sure how I should approach this book, particularly since I generally don’t review short story collections as a whole but rather each story on its merits. Mind you, that is probably going to cause a little bit of a problem when I get around to reading the Collected Tales of ...

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

When I hear the name Sherlock Holmes I don't think of Robert Downey Jr or Benedict Cumberbatch.

I'm really relieved that there are more books, but I still feel like someone punched me in the stomach after reading the last 2 pages.

I have watched probably 10 movies and am in the process of reading every story that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Holmes.

This isn't going to be a terribly in-depth review, because I think I might just review the series as a whole once I finish reading them all. I have a huge omnibus on all of them, so yeah. (It was free for Kindle for a while, but I think it may be gone now ... AHHH.)Anyway, like all the Sherlock Holm...
