This short story would have needed more suspense for my liking and a bit more mystery to it as the solving of the case was pretty predictable.

Such a short tale that barely rises to the level of mystery and the so called red herrings don't merit the name. Poor Lestrade.

This might be my new favourite Holmes short story. The banter between Sherlock and Watson is superb - if you're a fan of the Guy Ritchie movies, it has a similar rapid flair. The mystery is light hearted and perhaps easier to work out than others.
