A Study in Scarlet

A fantastic classic. I was throughly invested in the story and the character development of both gentle Watson and eccentric Holmes. A great start to the world of Sherlock which I am sure I will continue with. Also high praise to Stephen Fry's narrator of the book and the Sherlock Holmes collection on audible as he really helps create the atmosphere and phenomenal storytelling tone apt for a Holmes novel. A throughly indulgent and pleasurable read. A high 4 star read for me. It didn't rock my world enough to be a 5 star read but i throughly enjoyed it and I raced through it. A classic I am happy I have ticked of the list and I will be continuing with.
