Arthur Conan Doyle's four Sherlock Holmes novels sit together here, from the first meeting at Baker Street to the later cases that closed the detective's long career.
Gathering the full-length works in a single volume lets the friendship between Holmes and Watson develop at its proper pace, and it keeps the longer investigations, with their buried histories and slow reveals, in the order Doyle wrote them. Readers who know the short stories often find the novels give the characters more room to breathe.
Notable points:
• All four Holmes novels bound as one continuous reading volume
• Victorian London settings rendered through fog, hansom cabs and case notes
• Deduction sequences that reward careful attention to small details
• A single-book format that saves hunting down separate editions
