About the author

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.

*3,8 stars*

After not really enjoying A Study in Scarlett, I was a bit scared about picking up more Sherlock Holmes stories. But I'm really glad I decided to give the famous detective another chance.

I had fun reading this. I love Sherlock and Watson and their relationship. I liked that in most of the nine shorts stories that are part of this collection, the author gives you enough clues to solve the mystery or come close to guessing what happened.
