"Some of my favorite Sherlock Holmes cases are in this, and that is why I really enjoyed it. Sherlock is cunning as always, and the cases are mysterious and make you curious about the outcome, who was the villain? Why did he do it? These are some of the things I always look for in a Sherlock holes book, and trust me, this was a good one, from false sickness to an evil marriage, this book is what I love about Sherlock Holmes. 4 stars"

" Watson lagi lagi mampu mencatat berbagai kasus unik yang ia alai bersama sahabatnya, Sherlock Holmes "
— Chairani, 2/18/2014" A great collection of Sherlock Holmes' early cases. Always entertaining, gripping and a joy to read. "
— Mloy, 2/8/2014" liked it, but not as much as the ones "written by dr Watson". "
— Annika, 1/28/2014" I finished this book a while ago but I'd be happy to read it again! "
— Ampa, 12/20/2013" This isn't my favourite volume of Holmes stories by any means, but it's a nice collection of quite inventive tales. My attention did pale at several points throughout this book which quite surprised me, but it's one I might contemplate coming back to in the future. "
— Kirsty, 12/4/2013" Another collection of twelve Sherlock Holmes stories. These were supposedly released after the retirement of the famous detective. I read this one before, many years ago. "
— Harry, 11/15/2013" finally finished the last book. The stories are good, but I liked the longer one story books more than the multi short stories ones. "
— Tami, 11/10/2013" **This book is not the same edition that I read. "
— Jessica, 10/30/2013" I have now officially read all the Sherlock. This last collection had some great moments, but you could tell that SACD was getting really tired of writing Holmes; by the end he was just kind of phoning it in. So not my favorite collection, but still very enjoyable. "
— Heather, 10/8/2013" Arthur Conan Doyle adds yet another fantastic novel to his mystery book series. "
— John, 9/28/2013" NOOOOOOOO! I've finished reading all the Sherlock Holmes books (for the second time); I've finished watching the BBC series Sherlock, at least until fall 2013. Now what am I going to do with myself!?! I feel lost. "
— Nikki, 9/6/2013Sir 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.
