A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.5

Problematic ideas and words aside, the format of this story may have worked when serialized but in book form leaves a lot to be desired. The more that I read Holmes, the more I realize I like the movies better.
