This was the only Sherlock Holmes book I hadn't read and unfortunately I didn't end my experience on a high, particularly because the first story is so racist. I ended up skipping that one but so many of these stories were really average. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Stephen Fry, while also reading along in my physical copy and even then I found myself losing interest in a few of the stories.
