adventurous funny mysterious sad fast-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

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!

I was REALLY not a fan of the sudden change in the story. And Holmes conclusion was a bit of a stretch but I enjoyed the parts with him and watson for the most part

It surprised me how much I enjoyed this book. It feels rather modern, amazingly enough. There is quite a bit of western history that got really long for me so it's not a 4star book, but I will definately be reading more!
