If you read other works by Doyle, than you must read this book.

I agree, next to 'A Study in Scarlet' this is the best long story!

I love this story. In fact, I found an old 1900's book published by W.B. Conkey Co. (Chicago). I have the complete works (new) but there's just something about reading from an old book....

My favorite of the collection - this story gives more attention to Holmes as a character. When was this written in relation to the others? Before or after Doyle grew to hate Holmes?

It was second, after 'A Study in Scarlet', his first ever Sherlock Holmes story.

So I'm guessing he hadn't quite developed his love/hate relationship of Holmes yet.
