Read it as a Part of The Adventures of Sherlock holmes book. I want to log each story seperately too. I won't add the dates else it will mess up my stats.

Audiobook Narrated by Stephen Fry.

This is the one with Irene Adler, with the very memorable first lines...
"To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman....
This is the closest Holmes came to romance and modern TV adaptations tend to read more into this relationship than was ever written by Doyle.

Short, interesting enough. Suffers from the plague of mystery writing of its era (See Agatha Christie and Bram Stoker's Dracula) - any woman who is remotely intelligent "thinks like a man," "has the mind of a man," etc. Because obviously women with the minds of a woman are just dim-witted brood mares.
