Internationally bestselling author Lyndsay Faye was introduced to the Sherlock Holmes mysteries when she was ten years old and her dad suggested she read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." She immediately became enamored with tales of Holmes and his esteemed biographer Dr. John Watson, and later, began spinning these quintessential characters into her own works of fiction--from her acclaimed debut novel, Dust and Shadow, which pitted the famous detective against Jack the Ripper, to a series of short stories for the Strand Magazine, whose predecessor published the very first Sherlock Holmes short story in 1891. Faye's best Holmes tales, including two new works, are brought together in The Whole Art of Detection, a stunning collection that spans Holmes's career, from self-taught young upstart to publicly lauded detective, both before and after his faked death over a Swiss waterfall in 1894. In "The Lowther Park Mystery," the unsociable Holmes is forced to attend a garden party at the request of his politician brother and improvises a bit of theater to foil a conspiracy against the government. "The Adventure of the Thames Tunnel" brings Holmes's attention to the baffling murder of a jewel thief in the middle of an underground railway passage. With Holmes and Watson encountering all manner of ungrateful relatives, phony psychologists, wronged wives, plaid-garbed villains, and even a peculiar species of deadly red leech, The Whole Art of Detection is a must-read for Sherlockians and any fan of historical crime fiction with a modern sensibility.Binding Type: Hardcover

Soft and Perfect for Small Pets
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Blue
This little bed mat is super soft and cozy, and my cat took to it right away. The size is perfect for a crate or just laying around the house, and the star design is really cute. I like that it has an anti-slip bottom so it stays in place, and it’s easy to throw in the wash when it needs cleaning. It’s lightweight but still has enough cushion for small dogs or cats to nap comfortably. A great value for a simple, comfy pet bed.

Perfect Pad for My Pet Stroller
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
I bought a pet stroller that didn’t come with a pad, and I was worried I wouldn’t find one that fit. This bed turned out to be the perfect pad for the stroller! It fits just right and works well for that purpose. However, if you’re planning to use it as an actual bed, it is too thin on its own. Great as a pad, but not thick enough to be a standalone bed.

Kitty Loves It!
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Pink
This kitty pad is so cute! I wanted a pad for my kitty's window seat, and this was the right size and I loved the color and stars. It worked great and my kitty loves the fluffiness and comfort. She lays on it every day in the sunshine. It did well in the wash, too.

Soft fleecy fabric but mat is thin
Size: 30''L x 19''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
Got this for a cat who likes to sit on a chair and sheds everywhere - she loves it, and it covers the whole seat of the chair. Fabric is soft and cozy, but the mat is pretty thin and wouldn’t add a lot of comfort to a hard floor or crate
