Returned Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I've always felt that it's hard to beat Study in Scarlet. I enjoyed Valley of Fear quite a bit, but I don't classify that one as quite a Sherlock story since he's not really in it. I generally favor the earlier stories over the later ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hound of the Baskervilles for the full-length stories, easily. I like A Study in Scarlet quite a bit and The Sign of the Four is my second-favorite but Hound has a couple things going for it that I really like: Watson gets more time to shine (even if all his walking stick deductions were wrong), it has great atmosphere and it's the only novel that doesn't solve its driving mystery in the first half and then grind to a halt for Backstory Exposition. As for the short stories, my favorites are probably Adventure of the Norwood Builder (something about Holmes being giddy when the client says he expects to be arrested for murder) and the Three Students. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
