About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Reviews

[Moataz Mohamed · Rating 4 out of 5]

As far as I can remember, I have never enjoyed English literature more than I enjoyed the works of A. C. Doyle. That sums it all up.

[Tony Le · Rating 5 out of 5]

As many consider Sigmund Freud as the father of psychology and Adam Smith the father of economy, I find Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the father of mystery and suspense.

[Viktor O. · Rating 5 out of 5]

The stories by Arthur Conan Doyle are well written. They help to develop the logical reasoning skills among the readers!!! Why don't readers try to read some other books to learn more about the logical reasoning? I think that the Wealth Management Time book by Viktor O. Ledenyov and Dimitri O. Ledenyov can be a good starting point!!!

[Emily Kemme · Rating 4 out of 5]

Arthur Conan Doyle is campy but fun. I particularly enjoy reading the historical footnotes to get a glimpse into not only 19th century London, but into both Doyle and his fantastical Sherlock's minds.

[Jill · Rating 3 out of 5]

Made watching the new Sherlock Holmes movie much more fun. I didn't realize that Sherlock was so twisted. Brilliant, but twisted.

You know I DO love a good muh-duh...

Exceptional writing.

Reading "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" from this massive, omnibus edition. The game is afoot! :D

[Bonnie Dale Keck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well, just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads, so dates wrong. Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections.

[Anastasiia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Favourite author and favourite stories of my life.

[Blake · Rating 4 out of 5]

(FYI I tend to only review one book per series, unless I want to change my scoring by 0.50 or more of a star. -- I tend not to read reviews until after I read a book, so I go in with an open mind.)

3.75*

First time read the author's work?: No

Will you be reading more?: Yes

Would you recommend?: Yes


------------
How I rate Stars: 5* = I loved (must read all I can find by the author)
4* = I really enjoyed (got to read all the series and try other books by the author).
3* = I enjoyed (I will continue to read the series)
or
3* = Good book just not my thing (I realised I don't like the genre or picked up a kids book to review in error.)

All of the above scores means I would recommend them!
-
2* = it was okay (I might give the next book in the series a try, to see if that was better IMHO.)
1* = Disliked

Note: adding these basic 'reviews' after finding out that some people see the stars differently than I do - hoping this clarifies how I feel about the book. :-)

[Thomas Tidwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these stories, especially the Sherlock Holmes stories. This edition includes a few science fiction stories he wrote, which have nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes, I eventually figured out. These stories are classics for a reason, including the utter eccentricity of Sherlock Holmes (really, who publishes an article on tobbaco ash??).

The first Sherlock Holmes story does have bit of sensationalistic writing about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which I detest. It was very popular to bash the LDS Church in England in that time, and so Arthur Conan Doyle decided to jump on the bandwagon. Not quite yellow journalism, but the plot of that first story leans heavily on blatantly-false rumors of the time.

[Dennis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Confession: I haven't read his complete works! I have read most of the fiction however, I discovered this by finishing Rodney Stone and a couple short stories. I realized that I read them before. So I've read as much as I care to, not even approaching his voluminous non-fiction works.
I must say I don't like any of his fiction nearly as well as his Sherlock Holmes canon. He can roll in his grave all he likes! The only stories that I enjoyed nearly as well are his short stories of Brigadier Gerard of the Napoleonic wars.

[Igor Arien · Rating 5 out of 5]

Conan Doyle’s stories never fail to draw me in. It isn’t just the cleverness of his plots — though those are endlessly satisfying — but the way he captures the human heart beneath them. He writes with a quiet empathy, seeing both the strength and the sorrow in people’s choices. His portrayals of the Mormon frontier or the lives of workers along the early American railways are haunting, vivid, and impossible to forget. Each story feels like a window into another soul, and every reread reveals something new about our own.

[Nigel Callaghan · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can you say about Conan Doyle, that hasn't been said many times over? Buying the complete works (not just Holmes) in one e-book is a great opportunity to reread old favourites, and discover some new material. And for 99p on Kindle it's a no-brainer!

[Pamela Okano · Rating 5 out of 5]

The mysteries that sent the World into a tizzy and to this day, captivate many. Conan Doyle at his best was a fantastic writer. Can anything be better than A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, or The Speckled Band? A wonderful book.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best writers I have ever come across.

[David Troyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you love a good mystery, you might like this book. Sherlock Holmes has very unique methods of solving crimes.

[Omar Federer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Conan is the greatest novelist alive ! Alive by the enormous works he did, the compelling stories he wrote and the elegance of his style.

[Rashmi Sandeep · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have read and re-read these stories multiple times. I enjoy them thoroughly each time. I love the characters, the plots and everything about these stories

[Mark New · Rating 5 out of 5]

Conan Doyle is so much more than just Holmes, even though I grew up reading the detective stories and came later to the rest.

[martina molina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Twelve-year old me was obsessed. I needed help. Damn.

[Gloktaa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read every novel and short story and obscure thing this author has ever authored. Safe to say, I like the guy.

[David Mcreynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

A superb storyteller, such a shame he lost his mind to the psychic charlatans...his last Holmes story is so bad it's quite sad!

[Athena · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is elementary, my dear earnest avid reader. This book is a must read classic, one of my greatest READS ever.

[Jerin Tahapary]

Twin works - The Adventure of the Speckled Band and The Hound of Baskerville explicates, science-wise, wherefore Sir Arthur Conan Doyle a spiritual arden became his twilight years.

Way those double mysteries merge twi an exotic com romantic context, that thru them is twice its solution solved scientifically, yet its setting found in the linking context above.
For what could source and or a-force a-science (figuratively) funneling thru to solution, but those outer limits beyond, connecting superbly unknowably, still scientifically yet mysteriously - those twin works. .

His merged magnum opus those twin works.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

My first time reading Scandal in Bohemia and the difference between the way Irene is portrayed in the book and in TV and Film is quite surprising. She's a lot more subtle and refined on the story, not as much of a female fatale. She lacks the sexuality and outward confidence. It is implied in that she had this thing with the king and a regular male visitor. But these relationships are spurred by love rather than sex and power, it felt to me. I kind of preferred the subtle version. It showed a more delicate power and humble wit.

[Ashok Deobhakta · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was on my reading list for many many years. But, this happens to be my first book on Kindle. So, I enjoyed both-reading the books and reading on Kindle. Following books have given immense satisfaction while reading the voluminous volume.
1 A Study in Scarlet.
2 The Sign of The Four.
3. The Adventures of Sherlock Homes
4. The Memoir of Sherlock Homes.
5. The Hounds of Baskervilles.
That leaves reading the remaining book: The Return of
Sherlock Homes.
The last book:The Case Book of Sherlock Homes, I completed today. It has 12 very interesting cases. Very enjoyable.
