The one and only Sherlock Holmes. The Holmes books are much better than I expected. I really like them. I am reading them in the order they were written, but not all at once, so it may take me a while.

Better than I expected, with all the high expectations from the movies/series.
Loved the side story of Jefferson Hope. Looking forward to the next in the series.

not a fan of books that start a completely different but vaguely related plot halfway through. i literally had to check the chapters to make sure i hadn’t started a new book by accident

Quite enjoyable and a much easier read than I would have guessed! Look forward to getting to stories not yet done on the BBC series! :) Did really enjoy the additional backstory of the murderer, though. So interesting!
