"In the adventure of Wisteria Lodge, Holmes is visited by a perturbed, proper, English gentleman, John Scott Eccles. He's immediately followed by Inspector Baynes, who questions him regarding the murder of Aloysius Garcia at Wisteria Lodge the previous night... Consequently, in The tiger of San Pedro, a country house owner is discovered to have been a feared and hated dictator. Whilst in The adventure of the dying detective, a small ivory box is significant when Holmes lies gravely ill in bed, and dying."--Publisher description.

Review of 'His Last Bow (Penguin Popular Classics)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is a collection of previously published Sherlock Holmes stories, and thus is more scattered than previous collections. The first story is almost a novella; the last more of a history lesson than the usual Holmes deduction fest. None of the tales were 5 star for me, but all were at least above 2. Average score - 3.5 stars.
