Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tops today’s Buffet with The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes<\/em>, in which the\u00a0immortal investigator solves eleven unforgettable mysteries.<\/p>\n

\"\"Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 \u2013 1930) was a British physician and writer who is most noted for his stories concerning detective Sherlock Holmes, generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.<\/p>\n

This Kindle edition normally costs a dollar. Amazon’s staff describes this collection this way:<\/p>\n

What is there about the greatest series of short stories in the history of the world that hasn’t already been said? This is the second (of five) story collections by Doyle about the greatest detective in literature–and a splendid volume it is, containing such superb puzzles as “The Greek Interpreter,” in which readers are introduced to Mycroft Holmes; “The Musgrave Ritual”; “Silver Blaze”; and the earth-shattering “The Final Adventure,” recounting the struggle between Holmes and the evil Professor Moriarty in which the two titans were apparently killed as they went over the edge of the Reichenbach Falls.But every mystery reader already knows this. I’m pointing out this marvelous book because it has been extensively annotated by a fine Sherlockian scholar, Les Klinger, who has brought to all serious students of the Holmesian canon a level of erudition seldom encountered. In addition to the expected illustrations from The Strand magazine and meticulous scrutiny of chronological evidence of various events, there are references to primary sources and a staggering helping of information from the thousands of works about Sherlock Holmes by others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
