This has to be the saddest one of them all. Sherlock Holmes is hot on the trail of a master crime lord, Professor Moriarty, who just happens to be one of his only intellectual equals. As Sherlock finds out, this wicked crime lord is the cause of most of the mysteries that he has solved, and Sherl...
Although a short story, the plot is sufficiently complex and entertaining:Lestrade, a Scotland Yard detective, summons Holmes to a community in Herefordshire, where a local landowner has been murdered outdoors. The deceased's estranged son is strongly implicated. Holmes quickly determines that a...
I have not read many Sherlock Holmes stories, but from what I have gathered, few of them feature a female heroine as independent and curious as Violent Hunter. In "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches," Holmes "helps" Miss Hunter (whose name should speak for itself) solve the mystery of her employ...
This book is gold. The story is intriguing and it is very interesting to know how some singular points in McCarthy junior's confession could be viewed in two ways: ensuring that he was indeed guilty, as Lestrade and Watson suspected upon listening to it, or proving his innocence, as Holmes believ...

Just when I start to really enjoy Holmes' snide remarks, superior attitude, and brooding melancholy, Sir Doyle writes a sweet, sentimental piece where love trumps tradition and prejudice. I've admired Holmes since I was a pre-teen. In re-reading the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, I've come to highl...
The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volume I by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is great fun to read. Other than the three short novels, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, and The Hound of the Baskervilles, this first volume is comprised of a collection of Holmes stories (also published under the titles ...
“Someday, the true story may be told.”These were Sherlock Holmes’ last words as written on page 737 of Sherlock Holmes Complete Novels and Stories Volume 2, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have now reached the end of my journey. A first, I must say, on my part reading a canon.The whole experience wa...
The stories were very interesting, and I enjoyed most of them. But, I don't know, I didn't find them very satisfying. Maybe I am not really a fan of short stories? Perhaps I'll enjoy the Sherlock Holmes novels more.There are twelve short stories in this collection. They are a selection of some of...
A Study in Scarlet: The first novel featuring the prototypical detective, it was a page-turner that made me excited to read the rest of the Sherlock Holmes canon. I was unnecessarily concerned when the second part of the novel opened in America, and did not seem to concern the original mystery th...

The Lost World is a classic work of action/adventure that has a lively feel that made for a very fun read. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his Sherlock Holmes stories, has a way of writing an engaging tale. For readers who fear reading books published prior to the later 20th century out...
These horror stories -- never before compiled in one volume -- are carefully crafted, compelling and believable. Written in about the same decade as the Sherlock Holmes series, they will convince you that Arthur Conan Doyle was a master of more than just the detective story.
This was an amalgam of several styles of Conan Doyle. There were thriller type stories reminiscent of his Poe influences, some stories touching on his interest with spiritualism and a few detective stories along the lines of Sherlock Holmes. The detective stories were well done and some of the ...
I know now why this collection of 13 short stories is called “The Return..” In the last story of “Memoirs” entitled The Final Problem, Watson says that Holmes has retired and will no longer publish new stories. Now in real life, between that story which was published in 1893 and 1903, the period...
December 2010"Save for two or three men and a score or two of women, you are the first who have ever heard the story."Etienne Gerard, hero of France, is the kind of man who challenges a dozen men to a dozen duels (in a row, while promising to spend no more than five minutes with each so that the ...
In 2010, we had to read for classes one of the Sherlock Holmes' books. My teacher gave us three options. Those options were The Hound of the Baskervilles, A Study in Scarlet and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. We had to vote for the one we considered the most interesting, and the winner was THotB...
Oh, Sir Arthur...you sage, you luminary, you genius!! What a memorable, momentous achievement, my good chap! Simply stupendous!! It's just A singularly superb accomplishment!! Oh, forgive my loquaciousness, I don't mean to prattle on so (you certainly never would), but I just find it so spirite...
"My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the daily routine of existence. I crave for mental exa...
http://njkinny.blogspot.in/2014/06/bo...The Valley of Fear is not new to me. I read it the first time when I was in the seventh standard and totally loved it. The mystery was totally ingenious and utterly unexpected!Arthur Conan Doyle had studied to become a doctor but started writing when patien...
What is the secret of a goose that swallowed a priceless blue gem? How is a woman killed when she is alone in a locked room? Why does a mysterious club only include people with red hair? These puzzles are all solved by the greatest detective the world has ever known in Mysteries of Sherlock Holme...
Journalist Ed Malone is looking for an adventure, and that's exactly what he finds when he meets the eccentric Professor Challenger - an adventure that leads Malone and his three companions deep into the Amazon jungle, to a lost world where dinosaurs roam free.
You remember, said he, "that some little time ago when I read you the passage in one of Poe's sketches in which a close reasoner follows the unspoken thoughts of his companion, you were inclined to treat the matter as a mere tour-de-force of the author. On my remarking that I was constantly in th...

From the moment Dr John Watson takes home in Baker Street with the detective Sherlock Holmes, he becomes acquainted with bloody violence and criminal mind. In A Study in Scarlet, Holmes and Watson's first mystery, they find a dead ...
Our prisoner’s furious resistance did not apparently indicate any ferocity in his disposition towards ourselves, for on finding himself powerless, he smiled in an affable manner, and expressed his hopes that he had not hurt any of us in the scuffle. “I guess you’re going to take...
These are the documents in the extraordinary case of the Gloria Scott, and this is the message which struck Justice of the Peace Trevor dead with horror when he read it.’ He had picked from a drawer a little tarnished cylinder, and, undoing the tape, he handed me a short note scrawled upon a half...
No lo hago tanto por cuidar de su reputación, porque era precisamente cuando él ya no sabía qué hacer cuando su energía y su agilidad mental resultaban más admirables; lo hago más bien porque solía ser lo más frecuente que nadie tuviese éxito allí donde él había fracasado, quedando en tales casos...
THE KING HAS IDEAS. The king had remained alone in his cabinet, wrapped in somewhat gloomy thoughts, and pondering over the means by which he might carry out his purpose and yet smooth away the opposition which seemed to be so strenuous and so universal. Suddenly there came a gentle tap at the do...
La aventura de Peter el Negro Nunca he visto a mi amigo en mejor forma, tanto mental como física, como en el año 95. Su creciente fama atraía a una inmensa clientela y sería indiscreto por mi parte hacer la más ligera alusión a la identidad de algunos de los ilustres clientes que cruzaron nuestro...
