Holmes short story collections are always a treat to read...but this last collection was quite a short one.

Wisteria Lodge - 5/5 - I wish we could’ve seen more after the end
Cardboard Box - 4/5 - While I love the drama, I dislike what happened to cause it
Red Circle - 4/5 - Enjoyable but nothing spectacular
Bruce-Partington Plans - 5/5 - So much better than the BBC
Dying Detective - 3/5 - Not much of a mystery
Lady Francis Carfax - 4/5 - I really enjoy this one
Devil’s Foot - 5/5 - Good
His Last Bow - 3/5 - I feel like we didn’t get much of the story
**2020**
100% my favorite Sherlock Holmes short story collection so far!
Wisteria Lodge - 5/5 - I would’ve liked a bit more detail, but it was still very good
Cardboard Box - 5/5 - This was intense and very distressing (Maybe my favorite story so far)
Red Circle - 5/5 - OMG THIS WAS SO GOOD!! (Top two or three Holmes story)
Bruce-Partington Plans - 4/5 - Good mystery, I saw some stuff coming because of that BBC Sherlock episode
Dying Detective - 4/5 - Not as good because we didn’t get to see the whole mystery, but it was different
Lady Francis Carfax - 5/5 - The villains in this story! Holy cow!
Devil’s Foot - 5/5 - Oh Boy! This was kind of intense
His Last Bow - 5/5 - Sooo good! Like soooooooo good!
