The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Book 3 of the Sherlock Holmes series

Twelve short cases establish Holmes and Watson as investigators of problems ranging from blackmail and theft to baffling disappearances. Familiar figures such as Irene Adler appear alongside clients whose ordinary lives conceal ingenious crimes. Holmes's deductions repeatedly depend on details witnesses have seen but failed to interpret. Varied and highly readable, this collection is ideal for an evening of short mysteries and readers who enjoy Victorian London, clever clues, unusual clients, and cases that can be finished over one drink.
