I liked the story. And it was very well written. The characters were written with great care. They had a slight but visible development, and it fit. It was nice and at the same time interesting to see the beginning of the collaboration between Holmes and Dr. Watson.

A fun first book for sure, I can see why the public would've been so obsessed in the late 1800s. I don't have a lot of thoughts on the story otherwise, but I did rather like that the second bit gives us the murderer's full story and motive, even if some less observant readers found it a bit confusing.
