However, my main problems with this story is firstly the blatant racism that was so prevalent in the story. I understand that these view are typical for a work published in 1890 but part of the case being solved by figuring out what race a person was by their footprint was not just appalling but also highly unlikely.
Additionally, this felt like a short story that belongs in a collection drawn out into a novella. It was so long when it did not need to be and I could tell that Doyle was attempting to make it longer with John's romance which was actually very sweet.
