This was the very first Sherlock Holmes book written, and what a debut to have!! I really enjoyed finding out how these 2 totally different characters came together to form one of the best fictional detective pairs. 
The story itself was quite dark, especially the 2nd half…and in the end I felt the man who was labelled as a criminal & murderer was rightly so getting the justice deserved, that the authorities wouldn’t provide. 

I made my way through this book very quickly. Arthur Conan Doyle has such a wonderful style of storytelling & I find his writing style flows very easily.
