Auguste Dupin: 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Rogêt' and 'The Purloined Letter'.

Download or read book THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES Annotated Book written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver Blaze The crime here isn't murder, but the obvious robbery of a champion racehorse. The method to how Holmes solves the thriller entails a canine and the infamous circumstances what it did not do during the night time of the horse went missing. The Adventure of the Cardboard Box One of the more grotesque crimes that Holmes is called upon to clear up wherein the titular object contains two severed human ears. The story is simply as much an examination of the corrosive results of sibling rivalry, jealous and a starvation for vengeance as it is a murder thriller. The Adventure of the Yellow Face Notable for being one of the few times wherein the deductive reasoning of Holmes in the end proves wrong. The tale is as an alternative unusual exam of racism fueled by way of a healthful little bit of traditional spousal paranoia.

Stephen Fry 'Why do people still read Sherlock Holmes in an age of DNA testing and electron microscopes? It's elementary. Holmes has a timeless intelligence that puts him head, shoulders and deer-stalker above all other detectives.' Alexander McCall Smith 'Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet... No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature.' John Le Carre

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes was initially published in 1894 after each of the individual stories contained within had appeared separately in The Strand magazine. This collection was the follow-up to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes which introduced the detective and his loyal companion Dr. John Watson. The Memoirs are generally considered the superior to the collection which introduced the detective, but not as strong as the stories he solved in the next collection following his resurrection. Yes, indeed, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes draws to a close with Dr. John Watson disconsolate in his conviction that Holmes and his nemesis Prof. Moriarty fell to their deaths after a struggle atop Reichenbach Falls.Before Sherlock has that fateful meeting which may or not have played out as Watson imagines, he embarks upon a series of adventures that start off with a bang with his clever solving of the disappearance of a missing racehorse thanks to what the dog infamously did not do in the night. After that is a memorable tale of sibling rivalry and revenge gone wrong that kicks off with the arrival of one of the most gruesome clues in any Holmes mystery: two severed ears inside a box delivered to a home.

Book excerpt: "I am afraid, Watson, that I shall have to go," said Holmes, as we sat down together to our breakfast one morning."Go! Where to?""To Dartmoor; to King's Pyland."I was not surprised. Indeed, my only wonder was that he had not already been mixed up in this extraordinary case, which was the one topic of conversation through the length and breadth of England. For a whole day my companion had rambled about the room with his chin upon his chest and his brows knitted, charging and recharging his pipe with the strongest black tobacco, and absolutely deaf to any of my questions or remarks. Fresh editions of every paper had been sent up by our news agent, only to be glanced over and tossed down into a corner. Yet, silent as he was, I knew perfectly well what it was over which he was brooding. There was but one problem before the public which could challenge his powers of analysis, and that was the singular disappearance of the favorite for the Wessex Cup, and the tragic murder of its trainer. When, therefore, he suddenly announced his intention of setting out for the scene of the drama it was only what I had both expected and hoped for.
