Mostly non-traditional Holmes/Watson stories, in that they are about Holmes post-retirement coming to the service of his country during WWI to help combat espionage. Still enjoyable, but not what we usually expect from Holmes stories.

Essential for anyone who loves Holmes, and especially anyone who loves Watson. The Dying Detective, the Devils Foot and His Last Bow have some amazing moments that only a Holmes reader can appreciate. This is where we finally see the result of Watson's faithful service over ten plus years (I believe). I don't know how Conan Doyle continues to come up with these amazing mysteries, to me at least they are all unique and intriguing.
