A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

3.0

---

The first Sherlock Holmes book by Arthur Conan Doyle. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this. I've never read a Sherlock Holmes story before and thought the book would be a little more engaging. I listened to the audio book. I am uncertain that I would have finished the book if I'd just been reading it. The first half of the plot focused on Sherlock and then, suddenly, the book was talking about Mormon's. I was so confused. I actually checked my Ipod to make sure it hadn't skipped over the second half the book. In the end it was all tied together, but the way it was written just seemed jerky. I will read another Sherlock book and hope it's better.
