A diverse collection of mysteries
I liked that this collection was more than just murders and millionaires. The stories are quite original and ingenious, even if some aspects are also quite improbable.

just like Sherlock Holmes...
I absolutely enjoyed all the stories within this collection...especially as they were narrated by Stephen Fry, he needs to work on that Japanese accent!!🤣

Entertaining collection
A well read collection of stories unfortunately it lacks a proper index, leaves one guessing titles and chapters. Frustrating.

A pale imitation of Conan Doyle
I found this to be a pale imitation of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The twist of the main protagonist being blind does not compensate for the stories being rather dull. Neither does the excellent narration by Stephen Fry. I’d recommend sticking with Conan Doyle over this.
