Sherlock Holmes: The Essential Mysteries in One Sitting, a review

I really love these Running Press Mini Books, but I’ve been waiting until I’ve read the original works before I dive into each “summary”. Given I just read The Complete Sherlock Holmes it was time to dive into Sherlock Holmes: The Essential Mysteries in One Sitting!

Sherlock Holmes: The Essential Mysteries in One Sitting from Running Press Minis

This is going to be a very short review for a very little book, but this is a fun summary of some of the most classic Holmes stories. It gives a good little overview of the key stories, whilst also giving you some background information on the primary characters that feature in the Holmes books and the themes that Conan Doyle liked to include in his writing.

On CAWPILE I rated this: Characters: 9, Atmosphere: 5, Writing: 6, Plot: 7, Intrigue: 4, Logic: 5, and Enjoyment: 4 giving an average of 5.71 and a 3* rating.

This is a little novelty item and a fun gift to give to someone, as well as being something fun to collect. It also would be a nice little read to refresh the mind on some of these stories.

Have you seen these miniature books around? Do you think they’re cute? I do!
