Jack Nileth’s Reviews > Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Volume I > Status Update

A Case of Identity: A solid mystery for a story in which Sherlock Holmes never even has to leave the house. | The Boscombe Valley Mystery: A story in which Holmes actually has to leave the house, but ends up investigation a mystery so boring that he solves it within seconds of arriving at the crime scene. And the last few pages are then spent on explaining the motive, which is fine, but does not make the story itself any better.
