The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

About this book

Dr. John Watson records the exploits of his eccentric roommate Sherlock Holmes, whose powers of observation and deduction cut through the fog of Victorian crime. From a scandal in Bohemia to a speckled band, a red-headed league, and a final problem on the Reichenbach Falls, each story presents a puzzle that seems impossible until Holmes explains the obvious detail everyone else missed. Doyle's clean prose, vivid London settings, and the dynamic between cool logic and warm loyalty made detective fiction a global obsession. These twelve adventures remain the perfect entry point to the world's most famous consulting detective.
