Fun but the Victorian language is a bit distracting with its many flourishes.

I wanted to read this book because it's one of the first detective mysteries ever written - it was published 9 years before Sherlock Holmes. I love 19th century classics and this one did not fail. It hooks you in on the very first page and I couldn't put it down all day. I would recommend this to mystery lovers out there!

I enjoyed reading this classic mystery. There was one big twist I wasn't expecting. I did feel uncomfortable a few times with how much the narrator focused on the beauty of the women (and thus they must be good, as if nothing else matters). But besides that I enjoyed the work.

No estoy segura de como calificar este libro...
Si bien uno puede ver todas las partes que mas adelante serian esenciales en libros de este tipo y por eso solamente se merece mas estrellas de las que le di, yo no califico libros en goodreads en base a como es tecnicamente.
Por momentos es atrapante, pero hay cosas MUY tontas que te hacen querer dejar de leer, pero quizas solo son tontas desde una mirada moderna, lo que no es muy justo para el libro...
