"What Watson never told"
Baring-Gould has taken it upon himself to explain what the childhood of Sherlock Holmes was like, as well as what really happened during the Great Hiatus, Holmes vs. the Ripper, and even Dr. Watson's first wife. (ACD wrote but never published a play in which Watson traveled to San Francisco and met Constance Adams in 1884.) A nice touch is the timeline at the end of the book, starting from ...

It's currently out of print, but you can easily buy a copy from one of the sellers here on ...

14 Absolutely Marvelous Mysteries

You have Ernest Bramah(Max Carrados, the blind detective), Richard Harding Davis ( had not been aware he had written mysteries-I am trying to find more of them),Arthur Morrison (The Stanway Cameo Mystery-a great one),Robert Bass(The Absent Minded Coterie) and the rest are just as good. I think some of the best mystery writing ever was done in the 1800's and ...
