His Last Bow (Sherlock Holmes Series)
His Last Bow (Sherlock Holmes Series) | Arthur Conan Doyle
This early work by Arthur Conan Doyle was originally published in 1917 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Sherlock Holmes series. Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. It was between 1876 and 1881, while studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, that he began writing short stories, and his first piece was published in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal before he was 20. In 1887, Conan Doyle's first significant work, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. It featured the first appearance of detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist who was to eventually make Conan Doyle's reputation. A prolific writer, Conan Doyle continued to produce a range of fictional works over the following years. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

A late edition to the Sherlock and Holmes mysteries, with a fabulous finishing touch of espionage to round it out as Holmes and Watson undertake a mission in defensive of England as WW1 begins.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record.... another excellent installment of the series.

Hestapleton It‘s smart to read one a day! I‘ve been intimidated to tackle this. 3y
TCLinrow @Hestapleton When I saw that it was broken down into the different books I figured it was a good way to do it 🙃 it took me nearly 3 years to get a start on it though 😬 it was so intimidating long!!! 3y

Just completed the last remaining of Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes stories. His Last Bow: a 1917 collection including the short story, "His Last Bow. The War Service of Sherlock Holmes" (1917). In the last story the reader is made aware of the advances in technology during the early 20th century and also makes reference to the First World War. The most enjoyable read amongst these stories was The Adventures of the Devils Foot (1910).

Another collection of Holmes stories, in the vein of previous ones, with some addition of patriotic and spy elements, a nod to the coming war. The world has changed since the last collection - there are motorcars and submarines, and Holmes and Watson grow older and more famous. Fun and dependable as usual.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

In the Adventure of the Dying Detective, Holmes has quite a bit more than a case of the #sniffles .

This short story involves a distraught Watson, tropical fever and a poison box.

These tales may not be as zippy as the classics in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. My favourite was The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans.
