Sherlock is always good fun. All the stories were very entertaining but my favourites were The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Five Orange Pips, and The Blue Carbuncle.

As I'm reading these in order, I can say that this is his best work so far. The stories are somewhat hit and miss in terms of how interesting they are and how well they display Holmes signature deductive powers, but on the while they are more hit than miss!

Buku ini bercerita tentang petualangan penyelesaian beberapa kasus dari Sherlock Holmes, dengan sudut pandang Dr. Watson. Saya sangat suka dan nyaman membaca buku ini karena ringan dan kisahnya juga menarik. Itulah alasan mengapa saya memutuskan untuk memberikan buku ini bintang lima dan saya sangat merekomendasikan buku ini kepada teman teman yang menyukai misteri yang cepat terungkap. Dalam buku ini tiap misteri diselesaikan hanya dengan satu bab sehingga rasa penasaran tidak akan lama lama bersarang.

A vast improvement from the previous book. Great for listening to a complete story on my way into work. A bit tell not show but on the whole enjoyable as I dive into more classics.

Like with all short story collections it’s hit or miss but overall I liked this collection. Even if I wasn’t particularly interested in the mystery the narrative voice and characters kept me entertained. I definitely think Conan Doyle kept best first last, as the back end of this collection has the best stories. I’ll certainly be coming back for more!
Also, side note, I love how often Watson ‘ejaculates’.
