First published in 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collects twelve short stories that originally appeared in The Strand Magazine, cementing Sherlock Holmes as the world's most famous fictional detective. Narrated throughout by his loyal friend and biographer Dr John Watson, the collection opens with the iconic A Scandal in Bohemia and moves through a run of ingenious, tightly wound mysteries including The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band and The Man with the Twisted Lip. Each story is a self-contained puzzle, allowing readers to watch Holmes apply his famous methods of observation and deduction to unravel crimes that baffle the police, wealthy clients and ordinary Londoners alike.
