Information About The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes

If you are going to read the e-book instead of the physical book, here's a link:
The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes
You can also find a link on my website.

For background information for test day (October 26), you will need to go to this wikipedia link (Wikipedia "Detective Fiction") and read the introduction and the sections entitled "Early Western Detective Fiction," "Golden Age Detective Novels," and "The whodunit vs. the inverted detective story."
Please pay special attention to this list of items, particularly the red herring and the other linked items):

• English country house robbery
• An "inside job"
• red herrings
• A celebrated, skilled, professional investigator
• Bungling local constabulary
• Detective inquiries
• Large number of false suspects
• The "least likely suspect"
• A rudimentary "locked room" murder
• A reconstruction of the crime
• A final twist in the plot
