   he Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collects the first twelve Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in The Strand magazine throughout 1891-1892. The first story in the collection, “A Scandal in Bohemia,” is the story that made Holmes and his creator a household name.What this collection offers is a great look into the character of Holmes as a master of solving what seems to be the unsolvable: puzzling crimes, murders, mistaken identities and generally mysterious circumstances. Doyle really sets the bar and precedent for the detective genre with Holmes as his lead. Many mysteries in contemporary film and book have been influenced in some manner by Doyle’s Sherlock HolmesSome of the highlights in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle:In “A Scandal in Bohemia”, Sherlock Holmes employs disguises in attempts to find a photograph that could ruin the potential marriage of the King of Bohemia. This story has a light mood and it is enjoyable to see Holmes battle wits with Irene Adler.“The Boscombe Valley Mystery” has Holmes trying to prove the innocence of James McCarthy, whose father was found dead under odd circumstances. Holmes goes to Hatherly Farm, the scene of the murder, to investigate.“The Man with the Twisted Lip”—Holmes and Watson try to discover the whereabouts of Neville St. Clair, who has disappeared without a trace after last being seen in, of all places, an opium den. Many signs point to a mysterious and deformed beggar as the lead culprit. Holmes’ investigation takes them into the dangerous East End opium den.“It’s a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.”I enjoyed “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” the most. It is a closed-room mystery at hand for Holmes to solve, as one woman’s sister dies under the most unusual and remarkable circumstances. With seemingly no explanation for the murder and no real clue as to a suspect, Holmes and Watson go to the room where the murder happened. The suspense and tension in the dark room towards the conclusion was top notch.Also included: “The Red-Headed League”, “A Case of Identity”, “The Five Orange Pips”, “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle”, “The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb”, “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor”, “The Adventure of Beryl Coronet”, and “The Adventure of the Copper Beeches.”Holmes’ methods of deducing are almost always fascinating and entertaining. He is an astute and keen observer of human behavior, and pays attention to every detail in his surroundings. Watson makes for a great sidekick and ally to Sherlock Holmes, and his narration really makes these stories tick and work in a way that would be much less effective with an outside narrator.The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is a wonderful collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, some of the most popular out there. A collection like this is the best way to start reading Holmes. Sherlock Holmes’ fans will want to also check out A Study in Scarlet as well as The Hound of the Baskervilles, full length novels.

   I am a passionate reader, means i don’t want a story to end quickly. If you are my type go for it. The writing style of Doyle will amaze you and there is nothing to talk about The story Sherlock Holmes. It is a collection of 4 stories so good read.The paper quality could have been better but still story line will fade everything.

   This is a very good book that makes us think and the stories are so thought provoking and let’s us pass time in a useful and fun way. I recommend people to buy these types of books and to discover the joy and peace and happiness inside them by reading. Reading is not a duty or a boring thing. When you read a book and it finds a way into your heart there will be no going back. No matter how much time you read the book, you will get lost into the fictional world again and again. Books are the best in the world📚.

   Holmes and Watson RevisitedYears ago I read these 56 stories and 4 novels, and I’ve just finished rereading them. The first time around I was caught up in the ingenious plots and Sherlock Holmes’s eccentric brilliance. This time I was more captivated by Conan Doyle’s writing style, with its surprising mix of nineteenth-century style and modernity. I loved the descriptions of the characters, and of London, the English countryside, and other locales. In most of the tales, Dr. Watson is the narrator, and the deft handling of the story details from Watson’s point of view eventually made me think of Dr. Watson as a good friend with whom I could have a pleasant chat. Sherlock Holmes himself, however, is as much a mystery to me as he is to his ardent admirer, Dr. Watson.
