5.0

I’m really reading these out of order, but as my first venture into the world of Sherlock Holmes, it makes me wonder why I didn’t start sooner. I will fully say that my interest in reading this series is because of my love of Herlock Sholmes from the Great Ace Attorney video games. However, the reason I love this book is the same reason I love Who’s the Murderer and the earlier seasons of Elementary, which is that they are presented in mostly self-contained cases in which I can pick one up at anytime and understand what’s going on. I started reading this book to serve as a mental break from Life: A User’s Manual, and I never expected to finish it this fast, which really shows how much I loved the stories. Sherlock Holmes is kind of an asshole but in the best way possible. Anyway, I’ve already bought the first book of short stories, so I’m excited to continue my journey.
