Sherlock Holmes, The Naval Treaty by Arthur Doyle
"And how came it in the pond?" I'm reading a little Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet. I haven't read this one before so I'm a little excited. Arthur Doyle hasn't let me down yet! Personally I would put A Clockwork Orange under "C" and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes under "A".

And because I need another brick sized ... ... nice cover, nice paper, just the right size so I can read it in the bath or bed . . . So today I found a nice edition of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Somehow I missed reading this--it seems like one of those books everyone has read. ... Starrett's circa-1930 work The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes possesses a great subdued charm which true lovers of Sherlock should not miss. (Apparently it's an absolute classic of Sherlockiana.) These are runners up, but fully worthy. I FINALLY finished The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes today. Still listening to Moby Dick. 4. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. 2 1/2 stars.
Honestly I couldn't wait to finish this. I read this via DailyLit.com emails -- rarely would I hit the "send me the next installment now" button. I'd like to think that if I loved the book I would have done that often. ... ... rewinding to see what I've missed.

So many, so here are 10 off the top of my head...Sherlock Holmes obviously, as well as Maigret, Marlowe, Rebus, V.I. Warshawski, Kurt Wallender, Dave Robicheaux, Falco, Stephanie Plum, and Christopher Brookmyre's Jack Parlabane. ... via Dailylit.com: Sense and Sensibility (I may quit this one, it never grabbed me before and it'd not grabbing me now), The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and The Awakening.
