I suppose I should have thought these stories more than simply 'mildly entertaining' had I not been first introduced to G.K Chesterton's "Father Brown" series (Father Brown is a 'detective') and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" series, both which, for me, far surpass the stories here from E.W. Hornung. Perhaps imagination withstanding, I believe Raffles fell short of the other two in most every category, including style, depth, color, and vividness.
