The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Twelve ingenious cases featuring the consulting detective of Baker Street and his companion Dr. Watson.

About this book

From 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate cases that turn on a detail everyone else has overlooked. Clients arrive with strange letters, missing people, family secrets, and apparently impossible events.

These twelve stories include ‘A Scandal in Bohemia,’ ‘The Red-Headed League,’ and ‘The Speckled Band.’ Watson’s warm narration sets off Holmes’s precise reasoning, making this collection an inviting place to begin with the detective.

Each case is a complete story, so the collection suits both short reading sessions and a longer visit to Baker Street. The clues, Victorian settings, and easy companionship between Holmes and Watson give the mysteries a distinctive atmosphere as well as their puzzles.
