It is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin.

It has been adapted for film and television time and again. More than a century after its first publication, the novel continues to remain a spine-chilling classic.In 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's ""best-loved novel"".

对于福尔摩斯来说，她永远是女人。我很少听到他用任何其他名字提及她。在他的眼中，她使整个性生活黯然失色。并不是说他有任何类似于爱琳-艾德勒的情感。所有的情感，尤其是其中的一种情感，都令他冷漠，精确但令人钦佩的平衡思想厌恶。我认为，他是世界上最完美的推理和观察机器，但作为情人，他会把自己摆在错误的位置。他从没说过那种柔和的激情，没有嘲笑和冷笑。对于观察者而言，它们是令人钦佩的事物，非常适合从男人的动机和行为中汲取面纱。但是对于训练有素的推理者而言，要承认这种对自己微妙而微调的气质的干预，是要引入一种分散注意力的因素，这可能会困扰他的所有心理结果。在诸如他这样的自然中，敏感的工具上的沙砾或他自己的高倍镜中的裂缝不会比强烈的情感更令人不安。然而，他只有一个女人，那个女人是已故的艾琳-阿德勒，她的记忆令人怀疑和可疑。

His Last Bow is a collection of seven Sherlock Holmes stories (eight in American editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the title of one of the stories in that collection. Originally published in 1917, it contains the various Holmes stories published between 1908 and 1913, as well as the one-off title story from 1917.The collection was originally called Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes and did not contain the actual story His Last Bow, which appeared later, after the full-length The Valley of Fear was published. However later editions added it and changed the title. Some recent complete editions have restored the earlier title.

The story centres more on his daughter Enid and his old friend Edward Malone. Another friend from the 1912 novel The Lost World, Lord John Roxton, is also involved in the novel's second half. Professor Summerlee, who has died of old age around this time, is referred to by the mediums.Heavily influenced by Doyle's growing belief in Spiritualism after the death of his son, brother, and two nephews in World War I, the book focuses on Edward Malone's at first professional, and later personal interest in Spiritualism.

First published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet is the first crime that Sherlock Holmes solves with his companion Doctor Watson. A murder that leaves the Police clueless is brilliantly solved by the master detectives - Holmes and Watson. The book's title is derived from a speech that Holmes gives to his companion Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his ""study in scarlet"": ""There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.""

Only Holmes and Watson can get to the bottom of this baffling murder mystery. John Douglas is found in his study blasted faceless with a sawn-off shotgun. There is no obvious motive or suspect. Douglas and his wife, Ivy, a rich and locally popular couple, have lived for years in the ancient, moated Birlstone Manor House. Despite Douglas' nightly ritual of raising the drawbridge, a perpetrator had concealed himself, shot Douglas, and made a clean getaway. Does the mystery have something to do with the "interesting" relationship between Cecil Baker, Douglas' only friend from his obscure past, and the surprisingly merry widow? There are plenty of clues, including a brand mark on the deceased arm and the fact that his wedding ring is missing, but not the ring that he always wore above it.In one of finest books, an exciting adventure of mystery and espionage that will thrill and delight readers both young and old.
