Look Inside the Book

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are two of the most beloved characters in English literature. The relaxed Holmes can spot a million clues just by entering a room, while his assistant, Dr. John Watson, though not nearly as brilliant, remains his dogged and faithful companion. This collection includes most of the stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle considered his greatest, including “A Study in Scarlet,” “The Red-Headed League,” “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” “The Final Problem,” and many more—thirty mysteries total.
