More Exploits Of Sherlock Holmes

More Exploits of Sherlock Holmes (1964) — Adrian Conan Doyle & John Dickson Carr
Published by John Murray
Offered by Crappy Old Books

Return to Baker Street for a fresh set of mysteries drawn from Dr. Watson’s tantalising “untold cases.” In this companion volume, Arthur Conan Doyle’s son teams up with locked-room maestro John Dickson Carr to conjure new adventures that feel utterly canonical—fogbound London, ticking clues, and Holmes’s cool deductions cutting through the smoke.

Expect faithful Watsonian narration, ingenious puzzle plots, and that unmistakable atmosphere of hansom cabs, gaslight, and sudden peril. Whether you’re a dyed-in-the-deerstalker Holmesian or a Golden Age mystery fan, this is prime fireside sleuthing.

Why you’ll like it:

• Convincing pastiches that echo the original voice

• Devious, fair-play mysteries with Carr’s trademark ingenuity

• A classic 1964 Murray edition for the shelf (and the armchair)

Crappy Old Books: proudly peddling the worthy, the weathered, and the wonderfully weird—so you can investigate in comfort.

I have reglued the spine on this so it should be good for at least one careless reader or two to come.
