your favorite sherlock holmes (original) mystery?

Hi, glad to meet a Sherlock Holmes fan. I've been reading his books since young, and I enjoyed reading, and re-reading his stories.

One of my favourites was found in the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - the Adventure of the Speckled Band. Holmes solved the mystery of a murder in a room, where there is no sign of forced entry. How Dr Roylott of Stoke Moran, trained a snake to go through a ventilator hole and killed the occupant of that room.

In fact, I like every single story of Sherlock Holmes

I love "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" the most. There are suspense, mystery, thrill and what not? But I guess "Five Orange Pips", "A Study in Scarlett" and "Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" do have Sherlock at his very best.

Mine would be " the hound of the baskervilles" It was a really scary and ingenious plot. I read it during school and could never get it out of my mind. Recently i was able to get hold of it again and enjoyed reading it again. I too liked the dying detective story also...

Yeah, I agree with you. I like "The Mystery of the Dying Detective" (translated into "Petualangan Detektif yang Sekarat" in Indonesian) very much. Holmes is very talented as he can scammed dr. Watson. Another story that I like is "The Adventure of Devil's Foot" (translated into "Petualangan Kaki Setan" in Indonesian). I was very entertained when I read it. BTW, Holmes is the greatest detective ever!

Well for me the story "The Five Orange Pips" was where Sherlock Holmes' deduction skills were at his peak. How he gave his enemies the taste of their own medicine..that was awesome. Apart from that I loved the part where he and Prof Moriarty were at each other's throats and I actually cried when Sherlock Holmes was presumed dead at the Reichenbach falls in "The Final Problem". I am truly and will always be a Holmes fan!
