"Not the best but still very interesting for Sherlock Holmes. I was not a big fan of the stories with no Watson but Doyle does take the time to acknowledge through Sherlock that the story may not be his best. Still a great addition to the canon of Holmes. " — Mollie (4 out of 5 stars)

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.
