Review of 'The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is a collection of twelve short stories involving Sherlock Holmes. I really enjoyed them! Even though most stories are not as difficult to guess as I initially thought, some are particularly compelling, such as the famous "A Scandal in Bohemia" or the Christmassy tale "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". For readers who appreciate mystery and are amused by Mr. Holmes' bizarre personality, this collection is particularly gratifying.
