Publisher's Summary

First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle, imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities, a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills. Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques.

Doyle ended up writing four novels and 56 short stories featuring Holmes and his companion, Dr. Watson. All but four are told in the first person by Watson, two by Holmes, and two are written in the third person. Together, this series of beautifully written Victorian literature has sold more copies than any other books in the English language, with the exceptions of the Bible and Shakespeare.

Volume 1 in this series consists of two novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, followed by a collection of short stories entitled The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Det your deductions on !!!

Really enjoyed the narration by Charlton Griffin, he really brought Sherlock Holmes & John Watson to life. Absolutely love the BBC version with Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman, so was excited to hear the original inspiration & was not disappointed. A Study In Scarlet & The Sign of Four are not long novels but very enjoyable + a bunch of great short stories that help you get into Sherlocks mind. Cannot wait to get to get into volume 2.
