Publisher Description

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are overshadowed by the event with which they close—the meeting of the great detective and Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. When "The Final Problem" was first published, the struggle between Holmes and his arch nemesis, seemingly to the death, left many readers desolate at the loss of Holmes, but it also led to his immortality as a literary figure. The stories that precede it included two narratives from Holmes himself—on a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house—as well as a meeting with his brilliant brother Mycroft. Included in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes are "Silver Blaze," "The Yellow Face," "The Stock-Broker's Clerk," "The 'Gloria Scott,'" "The Musgrave Ritual," "The Reigate Puzzle," "The Crooked Man," "The Resident Patient," "The Greek Interpreter," "The Naval Treaty," and "The Final Problem."

"This is a great book, One of many books by Sir Conan Doyle about his observational detective Sherlock Holmes. This particular collection has 12 different stories, all from the perspective of Watson. My Personal favorite of the stories included is five orange pips, one of the better more intriguing tales of Holmes. But honestly my biggest problem with this book, and it is a small one, is how Doyle writes it creates this dragging feeling making it hard to read massive amounts at one time."

    " I really enjoyed this collection. There's a few really clever ones in there and, of course, Sherlock's trip to Reichenbach Falls. We also get introduced to Mycroft and Moriarty and I know where Mark Haddon got the title for one of his books :) "

    " There are eleven stories in the second of the Sherlock Holmes connections, where we see Doyle expanding the fictional universe: we have a couple of accounts of Holmes' adventures before he met Watson, we have Mycroft and the relationship with the French painter Vernet, we have the recovery of a treaty lost by the Foreign Secretary's nephew, and most of all we have Moriarty. The best of these is the first, "Silver Blaze", which is the one about the missing race-horse with the original curious incident of the dog in the night-time. Several of the others, unfortunately, have almost the same solution as "Silver Blaze"."The Final Problem" is a good bit of writing, as Holmes and Watson pursue each other to (apparently) mutual destruction in Switzerland, but has no real mystery element. There is also the peculiar story of the bloke whose wife turns out to have a black daughter by her previous marriage; some peculiar racist psychology going on there. "

    " I struggled to get into this collection of stories - possibly because I had just finished The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes very recently. I did, however, enjoy learning more about Holmes' personal life and background and learning more about the relationship between Holmes and Watson. I would definitely recommend this to any existing Holmesian converts or anyone who enjoys a good whodunnit and enjoys fiding out the how as well as the why. "

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.
