A classic. But some of the outcomes are predictable. Also the casual racism is always crazyyyy.

I had the opportunity to take part in Letters from Watson, where the short stories of Sherlock Holmes were emailed out in (more or less) chronological order. Having read about half of them, this was a wonderful chance to revisit the stories. This set of short stories is a very good introduction to the character.

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.
