|author= Lois Austen-Leigh

|title= The Incredible Crime

|rating= 4.5

|genre= Crime (Historical)

|summary= Prudence Pinsent flings her novel across the room. ''Unutterable bilge'' is her description of the typical country house murder mystery of romantic novels. The deliberate irony of this is that ''The Incredible Crime'' is precisely one such novel.

~~|author=Sir Arthur Conan Doyle~~

~~|title=Sherlock: The Essential Arthur Conan Doyle Adventures~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Crime (Historical)~~

|summary=There can be few people who haven't heard of Sherlock Holmes, whether in the guise of the original stories or subsequent film and television adaptations including the most recent series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, who are pictured on the dust cover of ''Sherlock: The Essential Arthur Conan Doyle Adventures''. It's this most recent series which has widened the fan base of the stories and many of them won't have copies of the original stories to hand. My own copy is a 1959 reprint of the 1929 edition which had four stories in one volume, but this current volume has nineteen stories in the one book.
