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.

Reviews

[Mateo Gil · Rating 4 out of 5]

Otra más de las recopilaciones de las aventuras de Sherloc, con el distintivo que éste cuenta con la conclusión del enfrentamiento entre Sherlock y Moriarty. Aunque todos los relatos me dejan con ganas de más, en especial el último "El Problema Final", se hacen muy amenas las lecturas y su desarrollo es ágil y rápido. Una pena que Doyle no hubiese invertido un desarrollo más extenso para ese desenlace.
