About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

Have read all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and probably others as well, just never bothered to put them in to amazon or goodreads, so dates wrong. Some KU some paperback some hardback some collections.

“I promised to keep this case a secret, but the lady is dead now and it is important for people to know the truth.”

Me gustó mucho, aunque esperaba el final un poco más impactante. De todas maneras disfruté mucho el libro.
3.5 estrellas.

I found that the Sherlock Holmes stories were great but the only reason why I didn't rate it five star was because at times I didn't understand the old English.

Sherlock is the best. (As Always)

Carino ed utile soprattutto l'audio,ma i codici della DeAgostini per le lezioni online non funzionano. Nemmeno riescono a risolverlo
