Date read: 30 September - 3 October 2017
Length: 162 pages
Dr John Watson is looking for somewhere to live after returning from India, and shares with Sherlock Holmes at the now infamous 221B Baker Street in London. Here he discovers what Mr Holmes does for a living, and soon helps him on his cases. Their first case is a murder. Although there appears to be no disfigurement on the victim's body, there is a strange word written on the wall in blood. Can Holmes and Watson catch the culprit, and discover the meaning of the word?
Sherlock Holmes is a very famous fictional character, with many novels, TV series' and films about him. Of course everyone knows about his companion Dr John Watson, but if you asked someone about it, they would generally agree that Sherlock is the protagonist. It is for that reason that I was very surprised to find that A Study in Scarlet is told from Dr Watson's point of view. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting!
A Study in Scarlet is split into 2 parts. I loved part 1. I was hooked from the get go and held on to every word. Part 2 was a bit strange and took me a while to get into, but it all makes sense in the end. The more you read the more you know!
I have loved my first experience reading about Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion Dr John Watson, and I will definitely be reading more!
Overall rating
