by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1892
LOVED IT! 12 stories of cases told by Dr. Watson. Loved the interplay between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Loved how incredibly smart Sherlock Holmes is. He can look at someone and tell where they’ve been recently and what they’ve done as well as their whole life story. He’s very warm and welcoming to the people who come to him at Baker Street, unless it is a villain, and then he has no problem being a voice of authority. He listens very well, with “lids drooping and his finger-tips together.” He solves amazing crimes – you can never guess the outcome but he gets to the truth every time. Very, very enjoyable!
