It is so distinctly different from the show. Leaving more questions to the writers and directors. I love the juxtaposition of Watson in the shows compared to the book but the threat here is very different to the show. Why is that?

If you have read the first book, I will say to becareful with this next one. If is more graphic given the topics they talked about in the previous books. Though you will have closure.

It is a peculiar read. Not just for initial beginnings but for its 360 change in reason. However, it is short and light with no murder.

This story is short and considered. It holds attention as long as it needs to and will still surprise the reader. I enjoy Sherlock Holmes and this was no different.

Reading this does make me question all adaptations of the story. Why do they vary so much? There is something about each character and their background that I loved exploring. They left me with questions and an egarness to learn about their lives independent from sherlock. I think this is part of the beauty of his stories.
