Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Tales of Terror and Mystery by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 2017
74/100
👍 Worth It
Conan Doyle outside the Baker Street universe is a genuinely rewarding discovery — these stories show his range as a genre craftsman, from atmospheric creature horror to ingenious puzzle plots, all with the same confident prose he brought to Holmes. The Edwardian pacing will test readers raised on contemporary thrillers, but patient readers find real pleasures here.
