What Can You Say About Perfection
This volume, the first of two, contains the earlier stories of the timeless detective. They were written by a man who wanted to be known for his other work (mainly historical novels) but was loved for the characters he created, and the world they lived in. These stories are the earlier Holmes, up to his dramatic "death" when he destroyed the evil James Moriarty and his criminal empire. Some readers feel that many of the later stories were not as good as the first group. Get both volumes and follow Holmes in making your own deductions!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
