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.

"The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" is the second story in the [b:His Last Bow: 8 Stories|754713|His Last Bow 8 Stories (Sherlock Holmes, #8)|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1368588782s/754713.jpg|10479789] story collection, the eighth publication in the Sherlock Holmes series.
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.

Well this one did not excite me too much, another Holmes story and well it was what it was. Nothing much to get excited about here.

My favorite things about this story:
1. Sherlock Holmes declares himself an expert in human ears and can identify blood relations based on the shape of their ears
2. a piece of evidence given against the murder is that he is from Northern Ireland. A truly damning piece of evidence!
