adastra reviewed A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle (A Study in Scarlet, #1)
Review of 'A Study in Scarlet' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Inspired by the BBC's brilliant "Sherlock", I read this story and was amazed at how accurate Benedict Cumberpatch's performance is. This book is of course more archaic but still an exciting enough story that it kept me glued to my iBook and frequently drained my iPhone battery.
Weird though was Part II of the book - all of a sudden we're confronted with 5 chapters of Mormon cowboys with our London (anti-) heroes no where in sight. That guarantees a VERY elaborate conclusion of the murder story, bit still, it's a bit weird.
Anyway, I'll have to rewatch "A Study in Pink" now...
