Review of 'A Study in Scarlet' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

First Sherlock Holmes adventure. I recently got my hands on all Sherlock Holmes, so I'm catching up on my lack of Sherlock culture (I did like the movies with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, and I'm a huge fan of the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman). We get introduced to Holmes and Watson, there's a murder (obviously), a big flashback full of Mormons (or of a certain image of Mormons) and generally speaking a nice story (even if the end reveal is a bit "wait wat? where does this guy come from?").
