I quite enjoyed Fragile Things, but didn't realize until I was halfway through it that I really should have read American Gods *before* reading the novella -- it was at least a mild spoiler. No tragedy, but a definite oops.
OTOH, I thought A Study in Emerald was freaking brilliant, especially when I realized, at the Very Very Very End of the story, that I'd quite misunderstood what was going on in it. I always love an author who can fool me so thoroughly...
