“A classic mystery novel. You'll get into stories from Watson POV and solve the mystery of the cases that Sherlock Holmes gets from his clients with the help of Watson. The story itself is not particularly long since its short story collection. Overall I recommend this book if you want a classic mystery novel.”

“I have watched so many TV shows and movies of the famous Sherlock Holmes, but I never read the books. One day in Half Priced Books, I saw this Gothic Fantasy Collection and said, "This is the time." I started on the journey back in October and only planned to read a few stories at a time. However, sometime on Saturday or Sunday, I got a determination to read over 300 pages by years end and I did.
Let me start by saying, the stories in this book are great, including the first one he ever wrote. I never knew the stories were told from Watson's narrative, which added a coolness factor to it. I loved their relationship and I loved how they grew in friendship over time. That was the original Bromance. I loved the way he weaved the mystery and resolution and craziness to it all.
The stories go by quickly. But I will say that there were a lot of the stories. After awhile, I was a bit bogged down with reading them all at once. I would say to others to yes, read this collection, but take it slowly and have fun.”

About Arthur Conan Doyle
Scottish writer and master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. As a medical student he was so impressed by his professor’s powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. However in contrast to his scientific background, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore other fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World.
