If you love reading thrillers, mysteries and crimes, this book The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is for you. And, if you are reading to brush up your vocabulary, then you won't be disappointed with this book as it is full of superb vocabulary.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring a fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

The stories are not in chronological order and can be read in any sequence. The only characters common to all twelve stories are Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.

The plots are engaging and creatively written with interesting characters and great settings. In this volume of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock and Watson get involved with royalty to beggars, from geese to snakes and from central London to the suburbs.

The 12 stories in this book are titled as follows
1. A Scandal in Bohemia
2. The Red-Headed League
3. A Case of Identity
4. The Boscombe Valley Mystery
5. The Five Orange Pips
6. The Man with the Twisted Lip
7. The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
8. The Adventure of the Speckled Band
9. The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb
10. The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
11. The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
12. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

The stories are formatted for digital reading, and is offered FREE for reading in this app.

The features in this free app are :
- The book in this form makes easy reading.
- Just download the book to your phone and tablet
- You can read it anytime, anywhere, without having to bring the physical book with you.
- This app has easy navigation tools.
- You can view in single page or double page mode (flip-mode)
- You can select to go to the first page, last page and any page in between
- You can turn on or turn off the page sound
- Swipe left or right to turn the page
- You can zoom in to the page for a more comfortable reading
- And it’s free to use

In the process of formatting the book for the digital version, we have taken the liberty to edit the long passages into shorter paragraphs. Other than that, everything else remains intact as far as the contents is concerned.

The plots are full of drama, deceit and old-fashioned danger, and they will keep you turning the pages. As you read, you might find yourself trying to think of what would happen next and also trying reach the correct conclusion faster than Dr Watson.

Sherlock Holmes is almost, always successful in decoding the mysteries. However, in one of the stories in this book, Holmes admitted to Dr Watson “I have been beaten four times—three times by men, and once by a woman. And the woman in question is Irene Adler, dubbed “The Woman” in the very first story, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'.

Besides reading for the thrill, you will get to know the London of old days, as Holmes is fond of describing his observations of the countryside and the peaceful looking pretty cottages as he travels by train (mostly) across London in search of clues. Not all the mysteries are crimes, some are more along the lines of confusions and puzzles which need clearing up.

Nothing compares to reading the original stories from the book. The adaptations in the movie or television do not give the same sensation of 'being there' at 221B Baker Street, and reading about the stories that unfold the moment a knock falls at the door.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, was first published in 1892. It is now available for free online reading from this APP. Although written more than 100 years ago, the writing style is modern. The sentences are not ‘Victorian’. Read one story and you will understand. Some of the paragraphs in the original version may be very long as Sherlock Holmes likes to describe his observations in detailed (maybe to get the readers to guess the outcomes).
