A good introduction to Holmes; somehow I have survived to this age without having read much of Holmes. These are twenty-two excellent short stories; the book has a bonus DVD with two of the Basel Rathbone/Nigel Bruce movies; a nice touch. The stories are fun, and while Holmes always figures it out in the end, the stories are enough different from each other that they don't become boring. Recommended for neophytes (like me).

I loved these stories and I can now see clearly why they have stood the test of time. Brilliantly written, each one was captivating in its own way. Great plots, great characters and great moods in each story. As a collection, however, this book could have been a little better. I would have enjoyed this much more if the stories were in chronological order of publishing, as sometimes later stories were referenced in an earlier one so I could not fully understand the connections between them. On the whole, though, I really enjoyed this and would like to read more Conan Doyle in the future.

metterò questo nella sezione "letto" perché il libro di sherlock hokmes "un ladro aristocratico" non esiste su questa app che gioia

Incredible.

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 read these short stories off and on... Always fun to read.

I thought I had read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was young, but either there were quite a few I missed or else they had been completely wiped from my memory. Some of the
quite famous ones were included such as The Red Headed League, A Scandal In Bohemia, and A Study in Scarlet.
I'm quite sure I never read The Final Problem in which Doyle kills off Holmes. However he has
to resurrect him due to the outcry of Holmes's fans.
I noticed that in quite a few cases when
Holmes solved a case he did not necessarily deliver the guilty person to justice. Sometimes he
seemed to think their crime was justified. Other times the guilty person escaped, but usually
Holmes and Watson heard of an incident where the culprit got his just desserts.

There seems to be a good amount of young women locked away and old enemies reappearing
from some ones past.

I didn't follow Holmes deductions in all of the stories, but most of them kept my interest.

The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries: Ten Stories by Arthur Conan Conan Doyle (1985)

Something about this book got me held back for quite some time now, I have been really excited about finishing off this year by reading this book, but for some reason I felt like this book was not for me. All the hype and excitement from Sherlock Holmes got me to read this book, but reading Sherlock Holmes did not seem right for me. At some point I find myself lost and reading in the blue and not really knowing how a case was solved or where the "Sherlock Holmes" hype goes. I just got myself to read about the first 3 cases and did not feel like reading it anymore because the sensation was not there.

Very interesting and suspenseful

love them all, and watched the DVD of some old movies. What fun!
