Description

Perhaps the most momentous story in the Sherlock Holmes mythology, The Final Problem was first published in The Strand magazine in 1893.

It introduced the criminal genius, Professor Moriarity, and the outcome of their struggle at the Reichenbach Falls remains the stuff of legend.

Conan Doyle’s classic short story chills the reader to the core, and forever established him as a master story-teller.

● Contains extended historical context and a critical essay: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: A Timeless Morality by Historian Edward Lawrence.

This was the first collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories that I read! I was quite surprised by how short each of the mysteries were, and how fast they flew by. But I did enjoy them. I loved seeing the deduction at work, and it was iconic finally reading about the duo. From the speech I could easily tell that the BBC casting for the series had been done so well. I felt like the endings were a bit too abrupt at times, and sometimes the stories felt quite short. I did like what characterisation I read, but I didn’t fall head over heels in love with either Holmes or Watson like I expected to. Loved the plots to the mysteries and the solving of them though!
