Welcome to the March read for our 2018 Sherlock Holmes Challenge.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was first published in 1892.

Feel free to read the book or listen to its audio.

We only have one thread per book. So, please put all spoilers in the spoiler tags.

Thanks. And Happy Reading.

We'll read all the adventures from A Scandal in Bohemia to The Adventure of the Copper Beeches. Then we'll talk about our favorite adventure(s) and the least favorite and why?

I hope you will enjoy the short stories.

Azuma-chan | 49 comments I just finished reading the book today. I wrote the review for the stories individually and I have to say that I enjoyed reading this book the most ever since I started Sherlock Holmes series. All of them had the element of thrill and I couldn't put the book down until I learned how things were done. I took around an hour for a story. I give the whole book rating of 5 stars even though 3 stories got less than that. But overall, it was a fun book to read.


My favorite one is Scandal in Bohemia. Because not only Irene Adler was first introduced there, but also she was the one who beat Holmes and he admits that as well. That he got defeated 3 times, one of them was by a woman. She's not just clever but also smarter than Holmes. That point pleased me a lot.

I'm so happy you enjoyed this book. I haven't finished it yet. But I will soon.

I have to agree with you. A Scandal in Bohemia is the best story in the series.
