Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish 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.
Enjoyed the book greatly, but you warned it is very long. The Kindle version only showed page 538 instead of the actual pages I was on. So I never knew how many actual pages were in the book. But I was excited to make it to the end, and learned a lot about Sherlock.
Yet another excellent book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who has penned down excellent works of great Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The extent of details that has been described in this book makes you keep going and crave for more. A good read for all fans of Sherlock Holmes.
I love anything Sherlock related, whether it’s in movies, books or games. It’s so interesting to see how his mind works or how he does things. Although it’s from Watson’s POV I love to see something of Sherlock’s POV for seeing the complexity of his mind.
