Este livro foi melhor do que eu esperava.
Agora percebo o porquê da fama de Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes and Watson set out to bring down a blackmailer, but someone else gets to him first. In the process, Holmes gets engaged to a woman who works in the blackmailer's household, simply to get information. This is stated only in one line to explain how Holmes got the information. We never see the woman, and it is never mentioned again in the story. There are a hundred different ways to explain that away, taking advantage of a random woman wasn't necessary. It's especially ironic that the blackmailer was brought down by a scorned woman, but we never hear anything about what Sherlock did to this one.

My favorite Holmes story, if all of them were like this I would be a Holmes super fan. He's the most like House in this one of them all.

Não foram más as três histórias, mas sinceramente esperava mais.
O Sherlock Holmes caracterizado nos filmes e séries é muito mais interestante e excêntrico e os mistérios mais envolventes.
Das três histórias a que gostei mais foi a primeira e nem sequer houve caso a resolver porque eles presenciaram o assassinato.
A segunda foi aborrecida e a terceira óbvia.

I really enjoyed the story but the ending was a bit of a let down. Wished this one went on a bit longer.

Sherlock and Watson, criminal heroes???
I loved this so much!!!
It was so funny and refreshing from the darker short stories lately, and I had a great time being shocked, laughing, and cheering for the characters in this story. It is one of my favorites after a slow start.
