Doyle, Arthur Conan: (01) A Study in Scarlet: Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet is the first Sherlock Holmes story and kind of an odd one. The title refers to the famous image of "Rache" written on the wall in blood above a murdered man, which...
Doyle, Arthur Conan: (02) The Sign of Four: Read a few things over the weekend. First, I finished The Sign of Four, by Arthur Conan Doyle. This is the second Holmes/Watson novel, and considerably better than the first, as it doesn't derail in the middle for unnecessary...
