Not what I was expecting from Sherlock Holmes. The plot didn't reveal Sherlock's brilliance like I was hoping.

Classic Sherlock Holmes. Good reading. These are my least favorite SH stories, but they are still good.

I think maybe I just don’t really like old detective stories. I prefer the BBC series.

I listened to these on my drive from VA to UT. I loved them! It is so impressive to me that these stories are still captivating, entertaining, and so clever. Silver Blaze references "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime". They are read very well and I'll be looking for more in the future.

The 3rd of the 3 disks was recorded in reverse order: last track first, therefore, I only could listen to 2 of the 3 stories. This is the first Sherlock Holmes book I actually read, and I expected more.

It's not surprising that this character has stood the test of time. Generations have been inspired to pursue this genre of stories thanks to his literary brilliance. Out of the 3 stories in this book I was hooked to the first and last one. The second one was a little dry for my liking.
