Les Aventures de Sherlock Holmes (Dodo Press) (French Edition)

Les Aventures de Sherlock Holmes (Dodo Press) (French Edition) Review



Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) était un écrivain écossais, célèbre pour ses romans mettant en scène le détective Sherlock Holmes, considérés comme une innovation majeure du roman policier. Cet écrivain prolifique a également travaillé dans le domaine de la science-fiction, des romans historiques, des pièces de théâtre et de la poésie. Arthur Conan Doyle est né à Edimbourg (Ecosse). Il étudie la médecine de 1876 à 1881 après être sorti agnostique des écoles catholiques de son enfance. Ses premiers écrits, encore exempts de son célèbre personnage Sherlock Holmes, sont publiés en 1879, peu après qu'il a arrêté d'exercer son activité de médecin, et c'est en 1887 qu'apparaissent sur la scène littéraire britannique le mondialement connu détective londonien et son ami et assistant le docteur Watson. L'engagement politique de Conan Doyle, notamment en faveur de la guerre en Afrique du Sud, ainsi que son titanesque travail littéraire (plus de cinquante livres et un nombre impressionnant de nouvelles), lui valent d'être proclamé chevalier en 1902: il devient alors "Sir" Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Watcher

The Watcher Review



Five gloriously intimate stories about voluptuously curvaceous and sexily full-figured women, who know how to enjoy life to the full!


The Watcher by Kristina Wright

Sometimes a Peeping Tom can be the person over the road, rather than someone lurking in the bushes, and it takes a little while for the curvaceous Maisy to realise that the object of his interest isn't her roommates Sara and Karen. Armed with that knowledge she decides it's time to take things into her own hands, with surprising results.


Clara's Cakes by Izzy French

Little girls are made of sugar and spice, which is why Clara is so good at cooking up little treats for the local cafes and tea shops. Yet when one of the motorcycle couriers admits to being a baker as well, Clara discovers that two many cooks in the kitchen can actually be a very good thing.


Private Dancer by Carole Archer

James is the perfect husband. Even though the corporate hospitality means having to accompany clients and work colleagues to a local lap-dancing club, which is something he really doesn't want to do. Allison is the perfect wife, and she knows it always takes two to tango.


Love at First Light by Harriet Hamblin

Cassie isn't the sort of woman who believes in aromatherapy and the ability of smells to change her mood, or her life. But when she steps into the candle shop and accepts the proprietor's recommendation, she finds things are not always as simple as they seem.


Princess Beatrice by Sadie Wolf

A birthday wish is something you can hold dear, but usually kept a secret. For Beatrice, a change in life brought her happiness, or so she thought. But when she summons up her courage and decides to gamble her happiness on a birthday wish, even she isn't sure of the outcome.
