The Adventure of the Crooked Man (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, #7) by Arthur Conan Doyle
3.0

I have to confess that, while it continues to be interesting and entertaining to read about Holmes' deduction skills and his ever-flourishing ability to get himself into some kind of trouble, I couldn't quite hold as strong an interest for most stories as in the previous books. Honestly, I found them rather a too similar to the previous stories (if not in content then in structure/format).
Most stories I read with only a medium amount of interest and only the final two stories I found myself actually engaged with. Obviously, I couldn't resist Moriarty, but The Naval Treaty was quite clever, too. Sadly, even those two stories were not able not change the fact that this collection was more of a disappointment than the previous ones.

"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.
