I particularly enjoyed this story because of the "bad guys" back story. Loved it! This story that ties back with America's own history was very clever and very interesting to explore as a reader.
This is my favorite Sherlock Holmes book so far.

Recovering from injury and illness sustained during the war, ex-army-doctor John Watson moves in with an eccentric flatmate: the chemistry enthusiast Sherlock Holmes. Although talented and with a steady stream of small-scale clientele, Holmes has never had the chance to prove himself against a big case. When he does, he pulls Watson along with him and the novel races off.
Fast-paced, well-written, and with characters that have remained the world's favourites for over a hundred years, A Study in Scarlet is a wonderful book.

The second part of the book involves a family's struggle to escape a Mormon camp that does not believe in personal freedom.grimviolins's review against another edition
