Well worth the price!,
By Fun Boy73 (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Six Great Sherlock Holmes Stories (Paperback)
For less then the price of a cup of coffee, you can own a copy of what I consider to be Sir A Conan Doyle's best Sherlock Holmes stories.This book contains 6 stores. A Scandal in Bohemia. In this story you see Holmes pitted against a female that may just be his equal. Next is The Red Headed League. This is the weak story in this collection. Still worth a read, but not a very thoughtful one. Next is The Adventure of the Speckled Band. Holmes and Watson visit the countryside to examine a death most foul. The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb is a short tale of a young mans missing digit. Next is the final problem and closes with The adventure in the Empty house. I will give no plot away on these since they are my favourite Holmes stories. Overall for under a buck, a GREAT value!

Classic & Cheap,

This review is from: Six Great Sherlock Holmes Stories (Paperback)
The Dover-Thrift edition of Sherlock Holmes advertised here is quite worth the pocket change, containing some of my favorite Holmes short stories including "The Red-headed League" and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." I'll keep this simple; whether you like Sherlock Holmes or not, you should get these six classic stories under your belt. If you haven't read Doyle, this is a great book to read to see if you like the classic Doyle series.
