This is an automatically translated description

In this book, Sherlock Holmes investigates London crimes again. The stories "A Scandal in Bohemia", "Five Orange Seeds", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Adventure of the Motley Fringe" - later, in the 1920s, shortly before his death, Doyle himself would call one of his best works. And in such characters as the desperate governess Miss Gunther (The Adventure of the Copper Beeches), the hydraulic engineer Victor Hatterley (The Case of the Engineer's Finger), or the tinkerer John Horner (The Blue Carbuncle), ordinary Londoners - and the English in general - could easily recognise themselves.
