The Complete Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle's The Complete Sherlock Holmes gathers the full canon, four novels and fifty-six short stories, in a single collected edition. The cases follow Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson from their first meeting in A Study in Scarlet through the late stories of The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, covering the foggy streets of Victorian London, the moors of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and Holmes's apparent death and return at Reichenbach.

The writing still reads quickly. Doyle's voice through Watson is warm, slightly self-deprecating, and clear, while Holmes's logic remains the template every detective story is measured against. A staple of any serious mystery shelf and a strong gift for first-time classic-crime readers.
