Plot
A classic Sherlock Holmes tale concerning the investigation into a case of missing treasure.
Very easy to read, although the treatment of any character who wasn’t white left much to be desired. I found some of the other Sherlock Holmes cases much more interesting, so this definitely wasn’t my favourite. While I enjoyed the backstory of the villain from A Study in Scarlet, I found the backstory in this tale sort of boring and longwinded. Not a terrible read but kind of forgettable.
