This is a rather sad story and another case where Sherlock doesn't make all the deductions single-handedly.
It is also a case where he actually complements Watson which is nice.
Lestrade doesn't come out looking too good though.

I've read a few Sherlock Holmes stories before and I've enjoyed them. But this one was a pleasant surprise. This one delves much more into the motive and explanation for the crime then the other Sherlock Holmes stories I read. But I found it pretty interesting.
I wouldn't say this story is anything special but I found it an enjoyable detective crime story.

Holmes investigates the case of a woman who has received two freshly-severed human ears in a cardboard box delivered to her house.
An enjoyable story in typical Holmesian fashion.
