The only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson and all are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.

Reviews with the most likes.
Although the book lacks the immersive component I seek in novels, each story is intelligently narrated enough to provide an interesting read. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed as a real life hero, a person with almost supernatural powers of deductibility capable of solving the most puzzling criminal cases.
There is not much character development here and all the stories follow the same formula: a case is presented, Holmes investigates it, then he presents his solution describing how the smallest of details when combined with his knowledge and skill can dispel the most obscure of mysteries.
Os contos são muito chatos. Acho que para Sherlock ser bom precisa de uma história inteira, se não não funciona.
This was a good read. I had read some of the stories before and some of them were made into episodes of the BBC version of Sherlock. I kept seeing Benedict and Martin in the roles, not Basil and his sidekick.
Sherlock does cocaine and solves mysteries for a living.... good for him.
