It was a perfect day, with a bright sun and a few fleecy clouds in the heavens. The trees and wayside hedges were just throwing out their first green shoots, and the air was full of the pleasant smell of the moist earth. To me at least there was a strange contrast between the sweet promise of the spring and this sinister quest upon which we were engaged.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his iconic detective. Venture back in time to Victorian London to join literature's greatest detective team -- the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his devoted assistant, Dr. Watson -- as they investigate a dozen of their best-known cases. Originally published in 1892, featured tales include several of the author's personal favorites: "A Scandal in Bohemia" -- in which a king is blackmailed by a former lover and Holmes matches wits with the only woman to attract his open admiration -- plus "The Speckled Band," "The Red-Headed League," and "The Five Orange Pips." Additional mysteries include "The Blue Carbuncle," "The Engineer's Thumb," "The Beryl Coronet," "The Copper Beeches," and others.

Histórias

Watson conta alguns dos mistérios que acompanhou com seu amigo detetive.
São casos bem diferentes uns dos outros: uns são engraçados, outros mais tensos. Mas, o que os torna interessantes é a habilidade de Holmes de analisar os fatos (às vezes aparentemente simples) por ângulos diferentes.
Gostei bastante de "Um escândalo em Bohemia", "A liga dos ruivos", "O homem com o lábio repuxado" e "O caso em Copper Beeches" (traduções livres, li em inglês).
É um bom livro de contos, daqueles que você consegue ler uma história por vez. Bom pra ler aos poucos, quando não se tem muito tempo. Também ótimo para quem quer retomar o hábito da leitura.
