Good artwork! I usually don't enjoy graphic novels when they simplify previous material, but I did enjoy this one.

A classic, yes, but not really a mystery. More of a slow thriller. The mystery never really feels puzzling, and many reveals are not that surprising. Can't remember the name of it, but there's that trope where the hero--at the last minute--sees an object that solves the whole thing. Hate it. The writing is very good, of course. The mystery genre is by far my favorite, but this one was fairly dull. There are better Holmes stories.
