The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb and Other Cases
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Penguin English Library edition As usual with the Sherlock Holmes stories it is very hard to say which are the best - but there are many stories here which would get the vote - ranging from The Boscombe Valley Mystery to the wonderful Adventure of Silver Blaze, from the Adventure of the Norwood Builder to A Case of Identity, but above to the uniquely strange and macabre Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb.

"life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent."
Thanks to the Radio Times back in 2017, I was able to obtain all three of these volumes as cases from them were used to inspire and add to episodes of Season 4 of BBC's Sherlock. I've been a fan of the show since 2012.
As for the book, I enjoyed the cases but some of them were more engaging overall. For someone who wishes to read ACD's Sherlock Holmes works, these volumes are great for bitesized amount of cases rather than overwhelming yourself.
