Despite the lack of Holmes, you will not be disappointed. These stories bear the markings of what will later become perhaps the best known detective fiction. Careful readers will also note a prototype, or since this is literature, should I say archtype, of Holmes making a brief anonymous appearance. The style is very dated and stilted by today's standards, yet the text reads very fluently and the reader is still captivated.

According to Barzun & Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, ""As one reads 'The Man with the Watches,' 'The Lost Special,' 'The Jew's Breastplate,' 'The Black Doctor' and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of storytelling and one relishes his ingrained habit of giving clues, even when they serve narrative Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
