Holmes's second run of short cases ends at a Swiss waterfall, which is why this collection mattered so much to Conan Doyle's first readers.
Before that ending the book works through a racing stable, a coded warning, a ship's treasure and a handful of domestic crimes that turn on a single overlooked detail. Two of the stories widen what readers knew about Holmes himself: one looks back at the case he took as a student, another brings his brother Mycroft into the room. The 308-page Fingerprint! Publishing paperback keeps the sequence intact, so the final story lands with its full weight.
Key things to know:
• The second collection of Holmes short stories, 308 pages in paperback
• Includes the Reichenbach confrontation with Professor Moriarty
• Brings in Mycroft Holmes and Holmes's earliest investigation
• Best read after The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
For crime fiction readers, Conan Doyle completists and library shelves, published by Fingerprint! Publishing and available at Boipoka.
