A fun little Christmas tale

The story made reference to some past adventures. I now feel the need to go back and reread them.

What a bore!

This was my first foray into these Holmes stories, and I was terribly disappointed. I literally asked myself. Why am I listening to this? The narrator is lovely, but the story and characters are simply a bore. I will listen to one of the earlier installments of the series to see if there’s any interest for me at all but I am not hopeful. I’m a big Sherlock Holmes fan and I like the idea of other writers adding to his legacy over the years, but I question this one. Tant pis.

Fairly bland

Like the title of my review, this book was fairly bland. I’m glad that it was a very short book.
