His Last Bow

The second part of this book is a return to Holmes’ best kind of mysteries, which was a happy surprise considering Conan Doyle had been tired of Holmes for a while by the time he wrote them, and that his tiredness had shown in a few of the Sherlock Holmes' stories that preceded those in this book. It also provides a fitting Last Bow for the detective, as Conan Doyle tries to get rid of him yet again. I'm a bit tempted to not read the last book at all, since this one would be a strong finish, considering it includes several very good, intriguing and complex mysteries, it sees the return of familiar characters, such as Mycroft, and is topped by that fitting Last Bow.
