i love Sherlock as much as the next person, but yeah. some of the stuff did not age well.
there's a lot of racism and misogyny and the time in which this was written obviously doesn't excuse that, but it explains it.

Overall I liked it and I was able to guess some of them (the last two). It was an enjoyable read, but I wasn't that attached to the characters or world, but I don't think that's the point of the book.
