Sherlock Holmes - Murder on the Brighton Line and Other Stories

Four stories of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson told in the traditional style.

The first novella is set in the seaside resort of Brighton. Holmes has been called in to consult with the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Constabulary on a murderer who leaves female body parts outside buildings across the city.
But Holmes and Watson find themselves at the heart of a different mystery. Who is the gentleman found dead in a first-class compartment of the London to Brighton express? The victim has a fortune in jewels and a fabulous painting in his luggage. Who killed him? Holmes tackles the Murder on the Brighton Line case despite the obduracy of the police sergeant in charge of the official investigation.

In the second novella, the Amateur Mendicant Society is in turmoil as two deaths occur in their secret clubhouse. Are the deaths connected with a mysterious discovery in the basement?

The first short story finds Holmes and Watson at the Crystal Palace where Holmes has arranged a rendezvous with a mysterious, and murderous, lady. Holmes has but a few days before she must submit to a fate worse than death. Or is all as it seems?

In the second short story, Holmes attempts to determine whether the skull of William Shakespeare is interred with the rest of his body in his grave at the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon or, as many people believe, it has been stolen.
