The fantastic Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson first case together. The beginning was intriguing. I liked the mystery and the childishness of Sherlock. After watching the BBC adaptations I was excited to read this book. However, although the first part was good I feel the second half was bland. I struggled to get through the second half due to the abrupt time skip and change in location. Nevertheless this book was a good classical read.
