MUITO PIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I don't recall having read any Sherlock Holmes novels before this. I have been a fan of tv's Elementary and also do enjoy thriller crime and detective novels in general. Since all of Terry Fallis' novels I've been reading have a Sherlock Holmes fan or two in each story, and the most recent one I read mentioned the novels being in the public domain, I decided it was time to see if I liked them.
I liked getting to know the written Sherlock and Watson within their setting (1800s) and through written word. I love Sherlock's eccentricities, and particularly liked the attic of the mind analogy. I'm looking forward to reading more stories.

I absolutely loved the first part, everything with Sherlock and Watson was great it was so interesting to see their characters as they’d been originally written after a lifetime of adaptations and interpretations. However I really didn’t like the second part. I found the flashback dreadfully boring and very confusing at the start. It felt like it came out of nowhere. I’m hoping that the flashback isn’t continued in other homes books but even if they are I’ll definitely continue to read them

Sherlock Holmes book report on A Study in Scarlet
Rec: Steve B. Mar 7, 2025
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle. This book is a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. This Sherlock Holmes story is particularly interesting because it details how he goes about collecting clues differently than other detectives. How he became associated with the narrator, Dr. Watson, is presented. What deductive reasoning is, and how it differs from the reasoning of other detectives, is incidentally included. In this story, the history of the Church of the Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) in America is described because it is involved in the murder in London. How it all comes together is the genius of Sherlock Holmes.
