Order of Arthur Conan Doyle Books

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish writer who achieved literary immortality through his creation of Sherlock Holmes, stories that became defining works of detective fiction. Beyond his famous sleuth, Doyle's diverse portfolio included The Lost World, historical non-fiction, romantic novels, science fiction tales, and theatrical plays. Like Dr. Watson, Holmes's loyal companion and chronicler, Doyle himself practiced medicine as a physician.

Doyle launched his writing career in 1885 with The Surgeon of Gaster Fell, followed two years later by A Study in Scarlet, which introduced readers to the brilliant detective who would make him famous. Below is a complete chronological listing of Arthur Conan Doyle's published works:

Arthur Conan Doyle Work Summaries: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes brings together the initial 24 Holmes tales as they first appeared in The Strand magazine, beginning with A Scandal in Bohemia and concluding with The Final Problem.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes features 13 short stories that originally ran in The Strand. This collection encompasses tales such as The Empty House, The Dancing Men, The Six Napoleons, The Norwood Builder, and The Missing Three Quarter.

The Valley of Fear stands as Doyle's fourth Holmes novel, presenting a mystery where the detective duo must uncover the identity of whoever murdered the secretive Jack Douglas with a shotgun in his own home.
