Mary Morstan has been receiving a pearl in the post every year for the last six years. But now the stranger wants to meet to right a wrong. She calls upon the help of Sherlock Holmes, and with the help of John Watson, they embark on an adventure.
"You are a wronged woman and shall have
justice. Do not bring police. If you do, all will
be in vain. Your unknown friend."
It has been a while since I read A Study in Scarlet, but I have enjoyed reading about Sherlock Holmes again!
I enjoyed the first part of the story but I could feel myself getting lost or not concentrating enough towards the end, which is probably due to reading too late at night and entirely my fault. I feel I didn't take enough of this book in, and for that reason this review will be brief.
I liked the interaction between Watson and Morstan. I feel Watson is quite innocent despite his life experience, and this is one of the instances where it shows. It's very sweet though, and we might see what happens soon!
I'm looking forward to reading more, although I don't know when that will be. Next time I will make more of an effort to pay attention! What I did take in I really enjoyed, and will need to read it again at some point.
