Hard to believe, but this book came out in 12 short stories in the Strand Magazine between 1921-1927; it's the final 12 cases of the SH's canon. The book form came out in 1927. Not as good as the earlier stories (IMHO), but more than ample for SH fanatics who craved more ACD SH stories. 😊

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would which is always a good thing.
First sherlock holmes book that isn't half in italian and half English

Went to London yesterday to the Hallyu exhibition at the V&A museum and also took a detour to the Sherlock Holmes museum.

A fine close to the Watson and Holmes mysteries. Well written, but not as original as many of the earlier cases: there was a number of repeated themes and clues and cases. Nonetheless, easy and enjoyable reading.

I was also quite fond of the two cases told from Sherlock Holmes' perspective, as his dry style was a fine diversion.

#7days7covers Day 7

Last day of my #covercrush . Do feel free to share yours if you feel like joining in!

Just finished the series finale of elementary today. I liked it quite a bit. Especially how they left it open for more someday down the line. May have to start watching the BBC Sherlock again too.

Not my favourite of ACD‘s books, but still an entertaining read. And thus endeth the series! I really enjoyed the Audible version of the Sherlock Holmes series and highly recommend it. Stephen Fry breathes life into each individual character. He‘s amazing! 3/5⭐️

And another #24in48 #readathon is in the books! It was a great ‘thon for me with 4 books read and a dent made in the tagged audiobook. And, as always, it was so much fun reading with fellow Littens. Many thanks to the organizers for doing such a great job! And congrats to all participants! I‘m already looking forward to January. 😉

Planning on finishing the LAST stories in this beast today. It's my Game of Thrones. Its been like a year and a half. I👏WILL👏FINISH👏IT👏

I must agree with the reviewers that this last Sherlock collection is the weakest. Many of the stories lack the investigative genius and rely on gimmicks, or re-hashing older mysteries. Doyle was clearly tired of Holmes by this time. Nevertheless it was well listenable and I am glad I have finished the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's getting colder here in Australia as we get closer to winter, and I'm taking a little break from my current read of #TheSevenDeathsOfEvelynHardcastle & Anna Karenina for this Classics. Sherlock Holmes always struck me as a perfect book for the Autumn 😊🍁🍂🍃

#QuotsyApril18 Day 11: #Pet - Arthur Conan Doyle makes a lot of sense here.

Loving this! I've set up a shelf on #Goodreads for "owned tbr". Already picking things up for my person. ?

The most exciting part of my job this week was working with the original manuscript of The Case of the Illustrious Client (its alternative title was apparently The Case of the Blue Saucer) handwritten by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1924. No flash allowed so they're not amazing pictures but I promised @saresmoore a peek 😊 #sherlocked #sherlockholmes

What can I say? #sherlock is my childhood. Hats off to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
