As a person who is fond of detectives I decided to get back to the core so to say and reread Doyle. The descriptions of both Watson and Holmes are really great as for me, the deduction method in action is as well. But when it comes to the diversity of suspects and hardships to guess who was the killer, the classics seems to be not as powerful here as the modern authors, like Galbraith for instance. I also did not really like both women in the book, it would be much more pleasant even to see them as villains rather than representatives of weaker sex so easily taken advantage of.
