Review of 'The Sherlock Holmes book' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A story by story walk through the Sherlock Holmes canon of Conan Doyle. In addition to basic plot points, most titles have info about setting, writing, or historical connections. As I spent this year with each of the books in turn, it was an appropriate finish. On the other hand, it's like reading an encyclopedia - perhaps more useful as a reference.

Photos were few, infographics were many. While much of the information is on Wikipedia, the presentation here is quite good. I especially like the listing and mini reviews of other works after A. Conan Doyle's Holmes.
