Rating: Summary: First and best! Review: This is the first Sherlock Holmes story, and in many ways it is the best! Sherlock succeeds in unraveling the mystery of a murder there in London, whose root causes go all the way back to Salt Lake City in the US. No Holmes fan should be without this book!
Rating: Summary: Holmes Meets Watson! Review: This is where it all began, the very first Sherlock Holmes story. If you want to read all 60 Holmes adventures in chronological order (as you should) then by all means make this the first Holmes book that you ever read. They are all literary masterpieces, and this was the first one! Out of the 4 Holmes novels, I would rank this third, behind the Valley of Fear and the Hound of the Baskervilles. I will spare you the plot details, you can do that elsewhere. Just get and read this book and it will start you on a fascinating and extremely entertaining journey through Conan Doyle's world of Sherlock Holmes, one of the most widely recognized, and best, figures in all of literature.
Rating: Summary: London mystery, Utah Murder. Review: This mystery is a tale of two halves. The first half describes a mystery set in London in which Sherlock, along his newfound trusty sidekick Watson, unravels the mystery of how and why two gentlemen are murdered. The second half is set in Utah and describes events leading up to the murders.Holmes is again brilliant in his deductions and astounds with his reasoning. This is a pleasant mystery with which to while away an hour or two.
