SynopsisThe second compilation of Dr. Watson's stories, the Memoirs are just as exhilarating and fast-paced as the first. The astute Holmes and the faithful Watson once again put on their hats and venture out into London to solve the mysteries that are baffling Holmes' clients.Sherlock Holmes once again showcases his unique skills of deduction, logic, and reasoning, and mesmerizes both Watson and the reader with his talents - and he makes it look so simple. As he would say, “It's elementary, Watson.”In the curious adventure of the “Musgrave Ritual,” one of Holmes' earliest cases, we get a glimpse into the workings of his logical mind. We meet his equally brilliant older brother Mycroft in “The Greek Intrerpreter,” and in “The Final Problem,” Holmes finally confronts the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty, whom he refers to as the “Napoleon of crime.”
