I went through a bit of a Victorian period in my early teens, and Holmes was a major part of that. I don't think I ever read this one, though, oddly enough? A fairly quick read; the solution to the mystery comes across a little deus ex machina, and there's this weird interlude of 6 chapters or so focusing on the Mormons of Utah, and their “exotic culture” that is textbook Victorian literature. Still, an interesting introduction to Holmes and Watson, and their relationship.
