The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection

I have no idea how I let myself get so long in the tooth before finally settling down and reading this collection. Suffice to say I am glad I finally came to my senses.
It is all here, every Sherlock Holmes story ever penned by Arthur Conan Doyle. There are four complete novels and five books of case studies. Relax I am not going to even attempt to review every one of these. That would be tedious for me as well as you.
There is no doubt that my hands down favourite of the entire collection was The Hound of the Baskervilles, but make no mistake I loved it all.
According to Goodreads I started reading this collection on June 23 of this year and I am just now able to close off my review. With the exception of the novels which I read straight through once I had started them, the balance of the case files I read in between other books. I must say I truly enjoyed this approach and looked forward to dropping in to see what Sherlock was up to every now and again.
Sadly all good things must come to an end. It was however an experience I shall never forget and I shall certainly miss Watson and Holmes. I may have to go back and pay them a visit again sometime.

Good for you Sud. Whatever form your collection takes, the stories are eminently readable.
Sounds like a fun read. I'm a little surprised there are not more than that. I might just have to get hold of this one.

I loved these too, so much that as soon as I reached the end, I began the journey again.

since I'm only 13 it is a bit hard to read but very intresting . The way Mr. Sherlock Holmes solves the mysteries is extremely entertaining
