The book contains three short stories extracted from the book: "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyles, published in 1892. The original book contains twelve stories about the greatest detective of all time, and "Sherlock Holmes Short Stories" have selected three of the best stories from the original version.
In these three stories, each of them tells a mysterious case told by individuals, mostly these cases were done under the hand of the criminals. Every individuals have a story of their own, and all of them had come to see the detective, who was living at 221B Baker Street in LonDon, England. Inside the room of his apartment, Sherlock Holmes and his partner, doctor Watson, listened to the stories told by the people who came to see them, as they need his help to solve a typical case of their own, from a mysterious murder caused by a "speckled band", to a scandal in Scandinavia, to a "five mysterious orange pips of death and a secret organisation called K.K.K".
What I liked the most is how Holmes investigate the crime scene, looking for clues using all of his senses, and how he could link the clues together to solve the crime which I would never think that they have a connection which leads to Holme's final conclusion. For me, Holmes is like a fox hunting down for it's pray, and I know that he would finishes the crime scene with a kill.
