This collection comprises of 12 short stories that are classic Holmes. It was fun to listen to these after having finished watching the Sherlock series as a family and to recognise bits and pieces that were incorporated into the modern day retelling, particularly in the form of book characters. A Scandal in Bohemia and The Copper Beeches were probably my favourites. I was going to take a break at the end of this collection but decided to push on.

Book 3 in the Sherlock Holmes Series (#SeriesLove2024) was wonderful. I am enjoying re-reading these although I am way behind for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

This was such a treat. A collection of 12 stories where most of them had me guessing until the very end, one I guessed early and one I guessed right before the solution was revealed.

I‘m ready for the next volume.

I read this collection a number of years ago and enjoyed the reread. There was one or two so-so stories in the collection, but the majority of the stories have a fun adventure. Holmes is Holmes, of course…he‘s never going to win the most humble person award!

Even though Doyle wrote two novels before these twelve stories, for me, it all begins with this book and the first short story “A Scandal in Bohemia.“ If you're new to the world of Holmes and Watson, this is the book to start with. Twelve masterful short stories that have most of the best of the Holmes canon. I don't know how many times I've read these, but I keep rereading and will keep rereading for as long as I can. I am truly #sherlocked.

Bookwomble @dabbe At some point this year I want to read at least a few of my Homes pastiches, starting with the tagged, as it's co-written by Doyle Junior. Have you read it? 7mo

dabbe @Bookwomble No, I haven't! It's now on my TBR! I definitely want to read more pastiches once I reread the canon. 7mo
Bookwomble @dabbe The Exploits records the cases Dr Watson only alluded to, such as the Giant Rat of Sumatra, so it sounds fun just from that angle 🙂 7mo
dabbe @Bookwomble Now, that does sound like fun! I sometimes thought the titles that were only alluded to sounded better than the story Watson was actually writing! 😂 7mo
Bookwomble @dabbe Yes! If we only knew what else Watson had secreted in that bank security box! 7mo
dabbe @Bookwomble Exactly! 7mo

You may have a slight book addiction if you‘re checking which ebooks are on sale while you stand on line at Barnes and Noble to pay for the armload of books you‘re impulse purchasing. 🤦🏻‍♀️

SpellboundReader @dabbe - If it's okay, I'll join in and try to keep up with the schedule. I've read some stories by Sir Doyle in the past, in no particular order but don't remember them well. Last night I watched Mr. Holmes, a fanfiction movie based on Mitch Cullin's 2005 novel A Slight Trick of the Mind. Loved the movie. Saw this post this morning. 🙂 10mo
