These twelve tales chronicling Holmes's fatal battle of wits with the devilish Professor Moriarty will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Holmes's death in "The Final Problem" caused such a public outcry that the author was forced to bring the intrepid investigator back to life in The Return of Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure and inspired the French to give him the epithet 'the good giant'. He was the nephew of 'Dickie Doyle' the artist, and was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.
He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable life-jackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and later in life became a convert to spiritualism.
His greatest achievement was, of course, his creation of Sherlock Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly distracted him from his other work; at one time Conan Doyle killed him but was obliged by public protest to restore him to life. And in his creation of Dr Watson, Holmes's companion in adventure and chronicler, Conan Doyle produced not only a perfect foil for Holmes but also one of the most famous narrators in fiction. Penguin publish all the books about the great detective, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes and The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes.

A Terrific Value And A Very Entertaining Collection of Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

"The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" is a really fine collection of short stories regarding the various adventures of the famous mythical detective. This, of course, are not all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. It is a series of short stories. They are very well written in the late British Victorian styles. There is no profanity or obscenity. Many of the stories are by clever. By necessity they are abbreviated versions of true police mystery investigations. However the style is excellent.

I have been reading Sherlock Holmes mysteries in the order of publication. I have enjoyed every one of them. I suppose I should emphasize that I am a fan of British Victorian Literature. As police investigations they are seldom complete. It is the writing that I enjoy as much as the mysteries.

In the event that one has heard of Professor Moriarty in regard to Sherlock Holmes, he does finally appear here in the last story, "The Final Problem". I suppose I should also mention that I have found all of these stories on line at no cost. However for .99, I was very glad to have purchased this collection. I am reading and listening to a corresponding audiobook of Sherlock Holmes stories and am really enjoying he experience.

In summary, I have really enjoyed this fine collection. These are stories that adults and children can enjoy. Each story can be read in one or two reasonably length sittings. I am really glad to have come across this collection. Thank You for taking the time to read this review.

I am loving all the Sherlock Holmes books. I love all the mysteries and how I can never figure out the answer. At least not completely

These are shorter stories of more of his adventures,which I don't recall reading before. Ending in telling a little more of Moriarty. Enjoyable read...I'd recommend especially for us die hard fans of Watson and Sherlock.

Enjoyable to read source material for modern renditions of Holmes

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Having been a long time since I had read any of the Doyle's stories, I reread with interest Watson's telling of their adventures. Each story is a quick read, but for a fan of the modern adaptations of their exploits, it's fun to see where some of the characterizations and story plots have come from. Helps me get past the Nigel Bruce rendering of Watson. We see a Watson that though intelligent and a quick study of Holmes' methods, he has great admiration of the problem solving skills of his friend. We see a Holmes, in some of the tales visiting Watson at his home, stopping by for visits in which he reports to Watson what he's been doing and perhaps he requires Watson's help again. All in all, I found the Memoirs a refreshing read.

A nice Kindle edition of the Holmes 'Memoirs' - just know that this is far from the complete Holmes works

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

I picked this up to have a nice Kindle edition of this portion of the Holmes works. It's nicely produced and formatted for the Kindle, and worth getting, particularly as long as the publisher continues to offer this special edition here on Amazon at zero cost.

Be aware, though, that this is far from the complete Holmes stories. My recommendation for someone wanting a complete collection is to pick up this Kindle e-book: Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate Collection . It's selling for a modest 99 cents at the present time here on Amazon, and it has essentially everything (see my review for the details: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XW9M0NM1AQSK/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00DCD53C2).

For reference, the following is a complete listing of the Holmes works, from the website sherlockian dot net.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes Audiobook

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012

I love audio books. When you are busy and can't read there is someone there to read to you! This is a good read if you are into Sherlock, easy to listen to and since it is short stories there is always a good place to take a break. The voice of the reader suits the book well. This is the second Sherlock Holmes audio book I have purchased.
