"This collection includes many of the most familiar cases Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson ever solve, including "Silver Blaze," "The Greek Interpreter," and "The Musgrave Ritual." As Holmes's fame grows, it brings him a notoriety that piques the ire of London's criminal underworld, who begin to scheme against him. It is in "The Final Problem" that Dr. Watson relates the grisly, fatal, and shocking tale of how Holmes finally meets his match, encountering the diabolical Professor Moriarty in a terrible struggle at Reichenbach Falls"--

3.5/5

I often pick up A Sherlock book when I'm on the go and need a book to read on my Kindle App. They're easy and entertaining reads, and the short stories are good because I find it hard to read more than one in a sitting. This is the case with most short stories, but especially with mysteries. Either way, this was an enjoyable book.
