4.0
Well, this was a wonderful collection of stories, covering an extended timeline and a varied type of cases.
There is a story from when Holmes still lived in Montague Street and we get to see the first meeting between him and Lestrade, and quite a few happening after [b:His Last Bow|18873517|His Last Bow (single story)|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1384984206l/18873517._SY75_.jpg|90047247]; we have some stories, like 'The Gnarled Beeches', that are follow-ups from canon ones and others completely originals but still faithful in characterization and style to the Conan Doyle's.
Great writing, solid mysteries and believable secondary characters, this is a treat for those who love Holmes and Watson.
