More by Arthur Conan Doyle

  • A Study in Scarlet
    You get the first meeting of observant, irritating Sherlock Holmes and war-weary Dr. Watson, with Holmes showing off through tiny physical clues and chemical experiments. The mystery is briskly atmospheric, though its sudden shift into a long historical backstory feels strange; you read it for the partnership taking shape.
  • His Last Bow
    Holmes is older here, and it shows in the best way; you get him faking a fatal illness in The Dying Detective and, in the title story, coaxed out of beekeeping retirement as war looms. It's a bit wistful, which suits him more than you'd expect.
  • The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes
    Late, strange Holmes, stories where Doyle gets darker and odder (a supposed vampire in Sussex, Holmes retired among his bees narrating one himself). Uneven if it's your first Holmes, but if you already love Watson's voice, the moment he's wounded in the Garridebs case lands hard.
