Watson, vet adrift,
takes roommate; murder most foul
long adventure told well.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Poor Jim: sailing on
to Skull Island, John Silver
and danger abound.
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters (audiobook)
Amelia P.,
Spinster with strong mind and will,
to Egypt and love.
I will add that I loved all three of these. The third is the first in what is now a series of 19 novels that I think will be considered classics of historical mystery-adventure fiction. I've read more than half of these, and probably all of the Sherlock Holmes stories, though am going back over them again.
