Our Review

This collection brings together foundational works of British crime fiction, gathering Arthur Conan Doyle's complete Sherlock Holmes canon alongside Edgar Wallace's influential "Just Men" series. Readers are treated to the iconic detective's major novels like A Study in Scarlet and The Hound of the Baskervilles, as well as his celebrated short story collections. The inclusion of Wallace's vigilante thrillers provides a compelling counterpoint, exploring themes of justice from a different angle. This set offers a substantial and immersive dive into the origins of the modern detective story and classic crime thrillers.

What makes this anthology stand out is its scope, presenting not only the quintessential logic-driven investigations of Holmes but also the morally complex, action-oriented plots of Wallace. It’s an ideal starting point for anyone seeking to understand the genre's roots or for established mystery fans wanting the foundational texts in one place. The sheer volume of classic whodunits and suspenseful narratives ensures countless hours of engagement. This is a veritable master class in British mystery writing, delivering a powerful one-two punch of literary history and pure, page-turning entertainment.
