Sherlock Holmes was not the only writing Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) did but Holmes and Dr. Watson are his most remembered characters.

Holmes titled himself a "Consulting Detective". His powers of observation, his understanding of crime, and his insights into the criminal mind were brilliant. His knowledge of things not related to crime were extemely limited, except in opera and the violin.

Like many other authors famous for a single character, Arthur Conan Doyle attempted to "kill" Holmes. But the readers would not let this happen. Holmes eventually appeared in 56 short stories and 4 novels.

  • Sir Doyle wanted to kill Sherlock Holmes once.... but then (luckily) changed his mind and "revived" him. This is a very nice collection of short detective stories. I enjoy it so much!

  • This book has some of the best Sherlock mysteries!

    I loved the final case "The Case of the Second Stain". An ingenious little twist, a case of extreme importance, and a lighthearted ending.
