This is always difficult, and I would not argue with the two previous at all - but I remember finding His Last Bow moving from the very first page, as the title presaged what was to come. That said, I was then much younger and impressionable. I am resolved to read them all again soon !!

The Speckled Band was the first Sherlock Holmes book I read which is why it's my favourite...
In terms of novels, I heartily concur: The Hound of the Baskervilles is amazing.
As for the short stories, The Adventure of the Dancing Men is my personal favorite. It also has the best introduction of any Sherlock Holmes story.
"How absurdly simple!"
A Scandal in Bohemia! "To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman..."
Study in Scarlett, hands down.
The adventure of the three students?
Some other good ones not yet mentioned:
- Dancing Men
- Man with the Twisted Lip
- Engineer's Thumb
- Beryl Coronet
- Reigate Squires
- Gloria Scott
- Naval Treaty

Always!
Personally, I love The Vally of Fear. It’s hard to say whether it’s better than The Hound of the Baskervilles though.
I’ve only read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but I’ve read all of his.

I liked the Blue Carbuncle. And The Last Bow.
I personally like The Speckled Band...
What about you?
