Herford Reading Autumn: Five books you can't miss!

When the leaves turn colorful and the evenings get longer, the time of coziness begins - ideal for an autumn reading full of exciting stories. The editorial team from Herford and Enger has chosen five special books that can brighten up the gray days. This also includes an adventure with the most famous detective in the world: Sherlock Holmes.

All eyes are on Leon Engler’s debut novel “Botany of Madness”. This crazy psychological thriller follows a narrator who falls into the clutches of his family's mental illness and his own fear of losing his mind. The entry into the world of psychology takes place in an institution. The book was published by Dumont and has the ISBN 978-3-7558-1129-9.

A classic of detective art

But fans of crime novels won't miss out either! “Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson: The Hunt for the Ghost Train” by Judith Weber is part of a hands-on book series in which readers can participate themselves. The adventure leads our heroes on the trail of a mysterious train and missing special basketball balls in London. This exciting work was also published by Schneiderbuch-Verlag under ISBN 978-3-5051-5228-3.

When we talk about Sherlock Holmes, the classics cannot be missing. Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the iconic detective, unleashed his characters on readers for the first time in 1887 with “A Study in Scarlet”. In total, Doyle published three novels and five volumes of short stories about Holmes, including The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle's last work is "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes", published in 1927. These masterpieces are an indispensable part of literary history and are very popular with crime fiction fans - the Thpanorama site also reports on the best works about the famous detective.

For smilers and football fanatics

Not only crime stories are part of the recommendations. “The Adventures of My Former Bank Advisor” by Tilmann Rammstedt takes readers into the bizarre experiences of a bank advisor and is light and humorous. This amusing work also comes from the Dumont publishing house and can be found under ISBN 978-3-8321-8642-5.

If you are more of a football fan, Ronald Reng has written “1974: A German Encounter”, a very special history book about the cult World Cup between the Federal Republic and the GDR in June 1974. Behind the scenes, the fate of people connected to this game is illuminated. The focus here is on the sporting events and the book is available from Piper Verlag under ISBN 978-3-492-07219-9.

Now all that remains to be said is that these five book titles not only unleash four-legged friends and flying spirits on readers, but also promise a journey through different genres and stories.
