" The original "procedural", but in fiction form and focusing on logic instead of high tech science. "
— Chris, 5/10/2011 -
" An old friend to spend time with time and again when nothinb else entertains. "
— Carolyn, 5/10/2011 -
" This is a fun book and I think makes the current movie (made in 2009) look even better. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle certainly made him out to be quite the character, much more so than his secondary authors did. "
— Roy, 5/7/2011 -

— Tony, 12/30/2009 -
" Although I am not a great mystery reader, these stories were well done. Sherlock Holmes is intuitive and uses his great powers of observation to solve the crimes and mysteries of old Endland. "

" Revisited Sherlock and Watson, walk down memory lane. "
— Carrie, 10/28/2008 -
" This was my first introduction to Sherlock Holmes, and I enjoyed it. The circumtances in the stories were a bit extreme, but it was fun to read. I like the short story format because it's easier to remember all of the clues to the mystery. "

About Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
