Ilustration Concering Books His Last Bow (Sherlock Holmes #8)

'We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'

Sherlock Holmes's fearless chronicler Dr Watson once again opens his notebooks to bring to light eight further tales of some of the strangest and most fascinating cases to come before the enquiring mind of London's most famous detective.

These mysteries involve the disappearance of secret plans as well as of a lady of noble standing; the curious circumstances of Wisteria Lodge and of the Devil's Foot; as well as the story His Last Bow, the last outing of Holmes and Watson on the eve of the First World War.

Criticism Appertaining To Books His Last Bow (Sherlock Holmes #8)

Within this small collection are a few stories in which Doyle seems to have been going through his motions (and who could blame him). But as his most famous creation says more than once in this volume, We must possess our souls in patience; and that patience is rewarded, as the collection also contains some of Doyle's finest stories, including a couple that break his own mold.

His Last Bow collects eight Sherlock Holmes stories that first ran in The Strand Magazine from 1908 to 1913, as well as including the eponymous His Last Bow, which ran in 1917. (The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is included in American editions of this collection; Brits will find that story in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.) Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are on the case yet again, with Watson serving as Holmes faithful biographer for seven of the eight stories collected here. The British

Okay so I own 5 Sherlock books and this is the first one Ive read. WOW I AM SPEECHLESS! I wish I read them sooner.The adventure of the dying detective was absolutely superb. That story definitely had me hook from the start.Some of the stories were a little harder to get into than most but I really enjoyed them all either way.I really cant wait to read the other 4.

These stories are among some of the best short detective stories ever written. I find myself going back to them again and again. There is plenty of mystery, but the focus is always on the solution or rather the solving of tragedies and crimes not the gory details of the crimes themselves. There are several curse words. The "worst" one is in the last story An Epilogue of Sherlock Holmes.

This might be my favorite of the Holmes short story collections so far. Perhaps that's a sign that Doyle was becoming a sharper writer the more he wrote, or perhaps more judicious in which stories he decided to publish. Or it might just be that he wrote with more of a gothic bent, and I really enjoy gothic lit! Brief reviews:Wisteria Lodge 3* A lengthy, two-part story that breezes by pretty quickly, but which I apparently didn't find particularly memorable because I struggle to recall details
