“Another great collection of Sherlock Holmes short mysteries. These shorts are where Sherlock really gets to shine. “ Chad

“I actually found this collection to be, if anything stronger than the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Stories such as "The Empty House," "The Norwood Builder," "The Dancing Men," and "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" are pure classics. From the first story to the last, Holmes is at his best as the master of deduction.” Greatdetectives.net

“More rollicking adventures with Holmes and Watson, all with heart, banter, and increasingly dark crimes. “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”, it could be argued, is the quintessential Holmes story.” The Literary Omnivore

THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES features 13 classic mysteries in a specially designed edition for kindle. These are Conan Doyle’s masterpieces which will intrigue and delight you. Read them as they are meant to be read: complete, and unabridged with illustrations from their first publication.

“To my mind, this is easily the best collection of Holmes stories ever assembled. The variety of the stories are great and, as always, excellently written. What I like most about it is that it reveals many stages of Holme's life.” John Darling

“This is the second collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories and it is even better than the first as it becomes a bit more than simply solving mysteries as we find out more about Sherlock Holmes's life and his character is developed.” Dan

“This collection presents many of the most familiar cases Holmes and his assistant, Dr. Watson, ever solve, including "Silver Blaze," "The Greek Interpreter," and "The Musgrave Ritual." As Holmes's fame grows, it brings him notoriety that piques the ire of London's criminal underworld, who begin to scheme against him. It is in "The Final Problem" that Dr. Watson relates the grisly, fatal, and shocking tale of how Holmes finally meets his match, encountering the diabolical Professor Moriarty in a terrible struggle at Reichenbach Falls.” Lori Caswell

“Memoirs holds its own as a great classic short story collection.” Greatdetectives.net

THE STRANGE CASE OF ALBERT MITCHELL by Peter Keeley



THE STRANGE CASE OF ALBERT MITCHELL (detective mysteries) (Case One of The London Road Mysteries)

"I loved this rip roaring detective story. Great period details and strong characters. I read it in one sitting," Chris Child

"There's a lot of action. I could imagine this making an exciting TV series." Ann Abrams

"It's great for Sherlock Holmes fans. Peter Keeley brings Manchester in 1911 to vivid life." Steve Moore

A brilliant period detective mystery
Detective James Francis Dineen and his partner John Moreland hear a gunshot during a training exercise at the London Road police station. Running over, they find one of their colleagues is dead, with an unfired gun in his hand. It looks like a disguised murder, but with no witnesses and no motive the detectives must deploy all their skills to unpick the mystery. Soon there's another corpse, and a significant new clue. Their investigation takes them across Manchester as they go from shady pubs and opium dens to the Royal Exchange.

James Dineen is inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and tries unorthodox tactics that aren't taught in training school. He's from the same rough background as the criminals he pursues, so isn't afraid to bend the rules to solve a case. While John Moreland is a church-going family man, who plays by the book.

The Strange Case of Albert Mitchell is the first of Peter Keeley's London Road mysteries, stories from the casebook of James Francis Dineen. It will appeal to all fans of early 20th century detective fiction. Look out for further adventures on Amazon soon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GNKLQ9U

-Illustrated with beautiful vintage images from the life and times of Henry James
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly
-This is the definitive 1908 text revised by the author himself

“One of the thousand novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“And I have never read anything as beautiful as that . . . So begins “The Portrait of a Lady,” and its opening chords, quiet as they are, have almost no match in English-speaking literature.” Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

“One of the most enthralling and enchanting novels that I've read in a long, long time.” Christopher H.

“The Portrait of a Lady is Henry James's most famous work, and Isabel Archer his most famous heroine. This is James at his best.” Litlovers

“The story of a young American woman "affronting her destiny", James endows his heroine with every possibility for freedom and happiness — an inheritance, independence of mind and beauty — only for her to become trapped by the Machiavellian Madame Merle and the sinister Osmond. Not even a passionate embrace with the manly Caspar Goodwood (is there a sexier kiss in all of literature?) can make her change her mind and renounce her duty.” Lisa Allardice, The Guardian

THE PORTRAIT OF THE LADY is one of the greatest novels of all time in a beautifully presented edition specially designed for kindle. This is Henry James’ masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

CLASSIC ADVENTURE BOOKS

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CLASSIC-ADVENTURE-BOOKS-illustrated-VICTOR-ebook/dp/B00GKTA1YK/

http://www.amazon.com/CLASSIC-ADVENTURE-BOOKS-illustrated-VICTOR-ebook/dp/B00GKTA1YK/


CLASSIC ADVENTURE BOOKS (illustrated)

3 Great Adventure Books in one beautifully illustrated edition


“Great value classics wonderfully presented for kindle, these are 3 adventure books that rank as some of the best ever written” Classic Fiction

Includes complete and unabridged:
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

Three of the greatest adventure novels ever written, which define the genre
-Illustrated with stunning images and many of the original illustrations
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

PRAISE FOR THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
“It is no exaggeration to say “Monte Cristo” still ranks as one of the most exciting stories imaginable, one every bit as good as anything Steven Spielberg or J.K. Rowling could ever conjure up. Edmond Dantes, a young sailor on the cusp of being named captain of a cargo ship and preparing to marry his sweetheart, becomes the victim of a plot by envious rivals” CS Monitor
“Page-turners like this one never age . . . you always want to find out what happens next.” Neil Smith

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
“This is definitely my favourite classic, I loved the dark atmosphere of the book, and the setting being Notre-Dame, which is one of my favourite places in Paris. It's not entirely dark and horrible, there are times when it can be humorous, but it's brutal in terms of showing what obsession can become when it's misunderstood as love and the true form of love shown by other characters.” Leah

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
“Journey to the Center of the Earth is a rousing good adventure, however, and an excellent example of early science fiction. Jules Verne was an amazing pioneer with an appealing style that is still effective one hundred and fifty years later.“ Bookworm Blather
“His descriptions evoke the loneliness and eerie silence of the caves they travel through, the desperation they experience with losing equipment or food

MOBY DICK by Herman Melville

http://www.amazon.co.uk/illustrated-complete-unabridged-Anniversary-Edition-ebook/dp/B00GIXCP0G/

MOBY DICK (illustrated, complete, and unabridged 160th Anniversary Edition)

The Definitive Edition of MOBY DICK
-Illustrated with fascinating period illustrations of whaling and ships
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly
“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“Surprisingly funny, wholly engaging, and deserving of its lofty rank among the canon of American literature; I enjoyed every page of Melville's Moby-Dick.” Amanda

“I may re-read it in a few years just to get back onto the Pequod and feel that cool salt sea air brush against my face and live among the crew again. I recommend this great novel to EVERYONE!” Martha

“But “Moby-Dick” is not a novel. It’s barely a book at all. It’s more an act of transference, of ideas and evocations hung around the vast and unknowable shape of the whale, an extended musing on the strange meeting of human history and natural history. It is, above all, a sui-generis creation, one that came into the world as an unnatural, immaculate conception.” Philip Hoare, The New Yorker

“We all know the story: man seeks unattainable object of deranged desire and causes general devastation in the process. This is the novel of restless human drive: to perfection, to mastery, to madness, to write a novel in the first place, to aim for something other than "a damp, drizzly November in the soul".” Chris Ross, The Guardian

MOBY DICK is one of the most exciting and profound novels of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition to mark the 160th anniversary of this classic, specially designed for kindle, this is Melville’s masterpiece of obsession which will stay with you forever.
