Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories: Volumes I :
Part 1~ A Study in Scarlet
By: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Note: I decided to review this book in sections instead of the whole book at once.
RATING: 4 out of 5 stars
Summary:
The first novel to introduce Sherlock Holmes to the world and in which a baffling murder brings Holmes and Watson together. The murder mystery involves the German work "Rache", a wedding ring and a man found dead in an abandoned house.Review:
I found the series of events hard to follow at first. The layout started with the crime and capture of the criminal followed by how Holmes came up with the final conclusion and the story that lead up to the murder. Finally making it all made sense.The characters were well developed and after the author started explaining all the clues and how they came together I couldn't put the book down. The murder mystery A Study in Scarlet, was a ingenious way in which to show the world Sherlock Holmes unique skills. The murder mystery itself turned into a sort of love story and was quite intriguing.
