I follow the order that the author preferred when the collection was realesed in UK. I had read two novels and knew the victorious Holmes before i read " A Scandal in Bohemia".
Adventures in general showcases the abilities,the quality of his detecting skills, i adored in
Memoirs how it showed it didnt always go so well for Holmes if he didnt have the time or the evidence or just made mistakes that made the criminal get away.
