Well, you don't get to see any of the legwork in this one.
Poor Watson, but at least he had us readers to keep him company.

Poor Watson, the things he puts up with when it comes to Sherlock Holmes. He handled being lied to and treated abominably much better than I would have handled it.

I've reread this several times and still enjoy it. Better then the shows too... And I enjoyed those though I didn't like all of the creepiness.

I was crying my eyes out. Then he was a big JERK and fooled Watson into thinking he was dying just to solve a case! Sherlock deserves a big SLAP from me!

6/5 stars for an excellent performance by Sherlock Holmes (and reading by the exceptional Mr Simon Vance). I knew the story generally already from the BBC Sherlock series but this was better than that. Brilliant and well done ACD.
