A collection of short stories about the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes written from the perspective of his companion, Watson. Overall, I enjoyed it. It can be quite repetitive. I expected it to be more mysterious and a little bit like a thriller, but it's mostly just Sherlock's attention to details and how he connects them to solve a mystery. It takes almost the whole chapter to explain the details of the case and the last two pages are usually the resolution, which is often unsatisfactory
