"Finally getting back to these! I finished the Memoirs. I've liked the short story collections much more than the first two novels. Memoirs felt like it had much more focus on Holmes and Watson in addition to all the detail put into the individual cases. This second collection also felt slightly more diverse in the cases' themes. I enjoy the eccentricity of Holmes." — Aug 09, 2020 05:55PM
