The Adventure of the Empty House: I wasn't sure if Holmes would be written back into the world in a satisfying way, but Doyle managed it. This story definitely focused on how and why Holmes faked his death, rather than a particularly interesting case, but it was still an interesting and fun read

The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton: This was very different from every one of the other stories, and I loved it. From my memory, this is the first time we've seen Holmes acting more towards moral than legal justice. I loved it - maybe my absolute favourite so far

The Adventure of Black Peter: This was an alright one. Typical 'police can never do their job properly' stuff but that's fairly standard in these things

The Adventure of the Priory School: I just found this boring to be honest, and I'm not really sure why. I just couldn't bring myself to care very much

The Adventure of the Solitary Bicyclist: Having read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, I had suspected where this was leading. I did enjoy it though, and had a fun time. Things escalated very quickly

The Adventure of the Dancing Men: I liked this one (I liked the little dancey guys they were cute). I had worked out that they were a cipher but of course hadn't solved it. I had worked out some of the solution, because it was a bit cliche for these stories, but it was still enjoyable.

The Adventure of the Norwood Builder: This was a fun one - it came from a different angle, and I really hadn't expected it to end how it did
