The first Sherlock Holmes book, and the start of one of the most iconic characters of all time. Unlike movies and TV shows, a flashback to Utah plays an important role in the book. Although it came as a surprise, I did enjoy the payoff in the book moreso than in the video form. There was much more background to the murders that gave the villain more of a heart – and a real motive.
It was good, but the mid-story change of a story within a story was confusing. Enjoyed the relationship between Holmes and Watson.
It would've been a 4 star but the second half was very boring and confusing at times, I understand that it was backstory but it really didn't need to go on for that long
