To be honest I did myself a disservice because this book is the third installment into Sherlock Holmes and I chose to listen to it anyway. Most of these stories lack in the same way the Poirot shorts do—their lack of description and exposition. Having known so little about the literature Holmes it definitely took my enjoyment down a notch.

I felt this book was not as great as the previous two entries. As with every collection of stories, some were very interesting and solid Sherlock stories, but others seemed a little lower in quality and even repetitive. Still, the highs in this book were very high and it goes to show how good this series is.
My favorite stories from this book were:
I've read or listened to the stories in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” countless times, and enjoy them every time. This is a reasonable audio version with a decent narrator.
