I've been less impressed with the later Sherlock stories, but this one is right back on form. Rather short to be properly called a stand alone book in my opinion but it is a great read. Twists & turns in a short space, good characters and vibrant writing. It also gives an interesting impression of a society reaching desperately for optimism while facing the chasm of war.

Another collection of Holmes short stories. An enjoyable listen, but the magic is starting to wear off a little. The last story was different - essentially Holmes was foiling a spy.
One more set of books, then i have completed all the Holmes works by Arthur Conan Doyle.
