The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes is the final collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, published in 1927, gathering the last twelve cases Arthur Conan Doyle wrote for the world’s most famous detective. By now Holmes is older, sometimes retired to keep bees on the Sussex Downs, and Doyle lets him tackle a strange and varied set of problems, from a soldier whose skin has turned white and a woman with a veiled face to a case narrated by Holmes himself and another told in the third person. The mood is darker and stranger than in the early adventures, touched by the writer’s late interests, but the old brilliance of deduction remains. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete final casebook.
