This is a collection of eight short stories, and even though there are less stories in this volume than in the previous ones, this is my favourite of the collections. It seems each story was thought with care, and I appreciated all of them. I particularly enjoyed "The Adventure of the Red Circle" and "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge". In the latter there is finally a policeman that solves a crime without Sherlock Holmes' help. Funny enough, none of these stories seem to be favourites of Conan Doyle, but I truly enjoyed this volume.
