Genius,

This review is from: The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
In my 16 years of existence, I have read the complete Sherlock Holmes 4 times, yet they still continue to amaze me. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a genius, and it shows through his whole series. This book combines 4 of the many great mysteries that make the Holmes legend live on. Definitely worth much more than the 80 cents!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's puzzles are engrossing.,

This review is from: The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
I have read the Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories and in all his stories he reveals that marvelous skill of deduction through keen observation. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is showing us through his writing how much information you can get about a person, place or thing just by observing it. I was amazed as to how he was able to discipher the code of the dancing men. Before he reveals the answer you should try to figure it out because it is possible.

This review is from: The Adventure of the Dancing Men and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
I believe that the Dancing Men is one of the best of Sherlock Holmes. It shows the deductive power of a detective to break a secret code with very little information.
Excellent book. Strongly recommended.
