by Arthur Conan Doyle
Sometimes, an author's fictional creation proves to be so popular that it cannot be escaped.
Such proved to be the case for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who killed Sherlock Holmes in an earlier story, only to be pressured by fans into reviving him, first in a novel called "The Hound of the Baskervilles," which was set before the death, then finally in this subsequent collection of short stories that brings him back from the dead.

If Doyle was thoroughly sick of writing Holmes stories, he disguises it well here.
The overall quality may be a bit below that of previous collections (the revelation of "The Six Napoleons" is particularly easy to anticipate), but I was still immensely entertained by these tales of Victorian-era detection.
