Published in 1905, this collection of short stories brings back the legendary Sherlock Holmes, whose apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem“ had left fans in despair. In most stories, Doyle manages to recapture the magic that made Holmes a global sensation in the first place; however, some of Holmes's deductions rely on fortunate or improbable circumstances, straining the suspension of disbelief for more critical readers.
