This story had more meat, a little more obvious but still more enjoyable and again we get to see Holmes do some actual sleuthing.

"The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet" is the eleventh story in the [b:The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|3590|The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1164045516s/3590.jpg|1222101] story collection, the third publication in the Sherlock Holmes series (after the first two novels, so the first story collection).
Holmes consults with a man who was keeping the famous and priceless Beryl Coronet as collateral for a loan of money, only to wake up in the night to discover his son - a gambler - holding the now twisted coronet, with three jewels missing.
Probably my least favourite story from [b:The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|3590|The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1164045516s/3590.jpg|1222101], but really that just tells you the calibre of the stories in this collection.

i felt like after reading quite a few holmes stories, this one fell a bit short. there was nothing to really set it apart from the others. a decent read though.
