Oh of my favorite Sherlock tales is The Red-Headed League and I find this series of stories to be really fun top-notch tales.

“A Scandal in Bohemia” is one of my favorite Sherlock stories and the others aren’t too shabby either

I can appreciate the draw and love for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work, I just could not get in rhythm with his writing style and this very short piece just dragged on for me. I think I will stick to more contemporary mystery books from now on.

Even though Doyle wrote two novels before these twelve stories, for me, it all begins with this book and the first short story “A Scandal in Bohemia.“ If you're new to the world of Holmes and Watson, this is the book to start with. Twelve masterful short stories that have most of the best of the Holmes canon. I don't know how many times I've read these, but I keep rereading and will keep rereading for as long as I can. I am truly #sherlocked.
