The Adventure of the Yellow Face: A Sherlock Holmes Short Story (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, #2):
"I rather enjoyed this adventure. The case was very well presented and Sherlock Holmes had it figured out before the client left 22 B. Baker Street."

Jim Ef's review
of
The Adventure of the Yellow Face: A Sherlock Holmes Short Story (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, #2):
"8.1/10

| I found the story to be a wonderful, thought-provoking experience. I don't want to add any spoilers or hint at the ending. It is a short tale so it won't take long for you to see the prose, the skill of H.G. Wells. I will state that the story is not ...more | |
