Another series of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes as reported by his faithful biographer Dr. Watson and it becomes clearer than ever that the real draw of these stories is the fascinating character of Holmes himself. The mysteries are secondary to the enjoyment, though many of them do prove to hav...

Short stories, most were good, some were boring. Left me hanging at the end though, going to have to find out what happened!

I think this one contains some of the best and most important stories (they start blending at some point). I have to admit that I still could not stop.

Good stuff. "The Naval Treaty" was my favorite. Not much can be said about Holems that book lovers don't already know. But his brother, Mycroft, makes an appearance. And so does Professor Moriarty, though I think he was rushed into prominence. He would have been a better character if he had been all...
