Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collects twelve iconic stories featuring the world's most famous detective and his loyal companion Dr. Watson. From "A Scandal in Bohemia" to "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches," these tales established the template for detective fiction, introducing deductive reasoning, forensic science, and the brilliant eccentric investigator. More than mysteries, the stories capture Victorian London in vivid detail while exploring themes of justice, reason, and the thin line between order and chaos.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Doyle created the detective all others are measured against. Sherlock Holmes remains compelling not despite his flaws but because of them, proving that genius and humanity aren't opposites. These stories invented a genre and still haven't been surpassed.
