what do you think about the first adventure? I was really surprised that watson wasnt scared of getting arrested


Elsbeth (elsbethgm) Yeah, well he knows anything can happen when he is with Sherlock ;).
I thougth the second was rather funny and the third maybe a bit predictable... I'm now starting with #4... I have a version from www.storycartel.com. It was the group-read from the storycartel bookgroup from june - but I didn't get around to reading it... If you are interested, you can look at the blog:

These articles are also part of my version of the ebook. Between every chapter there is some thing from the discussion (but I could only find these 4 online).
I rather like those intervals between the adventures.


Elsbeth (elsbethgm) I just finished! I really liked it! Especially since the cases are so short, you don't have to wait too long for the answers!
In one story tough (I believe it was the 3rd, about the orange pips) I thought he made a very bad mistake, by letting the client leave without a guard.
But I have to say I get nervous more often with Sherlock Holmes - he takes his time to investigate, while I worry that some dreadful thing might happen in the meantime... (which is mostly not the case, except in the above mentioned story...).
Good choice this read!
Happy reading everyone!

I believe too that the cases are quite short since i expected them to be longer.. i just finished the fourth adventure and i really liked the second one


Elsbeth (elsbethgm) I was just looking on www.storycartel.com again and noticed that they put 'my version' of this book online for free download again (for another 16 days). So if anyone in interested in reading the 'between the stories stuff', you can (again)!
