bethanhs's review against another edition

I loved these stories and I can now see clearly why they have stood the test of time. Brilliantly written, each one was captivating in its own way. Great plots, great characters and great moods in each story. As a collection, however, this book could have been a little better. I would have enjoyed this much more if the stories were in chronological order of publishing, as sometimes later stories were referenced in an earlier one so I could not fully understand the connections between them. On the whole, though, I really enjoyed this and would like to read more Conan Doyle in the future.
