Descrizione

Doctor Watson, returned fresh from Afghanistan with an injured arm and shattered nerves from illness, moves to London on a pension. He is most introduced to Sherlock Holmes, with whom he rooms for some time. He is skeptical about Holmes' self-professed deductive powers, and so Holmes allows him to tag along on a case that the police cannot solve. Needless to say, Holmes thoroughly impresses Watson with his deductive powers, and promises to keep records of all of Holmes' cases so that his excellent detecting doesn't go unrewarded. The first part of A Study in Scarlet leads to the arrest of the murderer, and the second part provides the story of the murderer's life and motives, previously unexplained. Part two takes the listener across the ocean to the original settlement of Salt Lake City in Utah, and a story of hardship, love, greed, Mormons, and revenge, and then back to London to sort out the explanations.

[Review contains minor spoilers]I came for Sherlock Holmes and stayed for John Ferrier. Where can I get me a man like that lol? Honest and hardworking, loyal and protective over his adoptive daughter, recognizes the mormons for the misogynistic cult they are AND celibate? Only in a book could such a perfect man exist.Anyways, everyone knows Sherlock Holmes and I looove, love, love the concept and the characters of Sherlock and John, as well as their dynamic. I've watched all movies and tv shows and finally I'm reading the books (btw if you're looking for a good tv show I can recommend the classic Granada Holmes and Elementary, don't bother with the BBC version unless you have nothing else to do).I never knew the book was parted in two stories, first half with John & Sherlock and the second half was the story of John Ferrier, but of course the story connects to the case. Honestly I didn't expect the second half to hold my attention as it did, I would've read a whole book or series about John Ferrier and his daughter on his own! Final words: Great introduction to Sherlock and John as characters, an actual classic for a reason (unlike some others... looking at you Shadow over innsmouth, ugh.)

"è un errore gravissimo mettersi a teorizzare prima di aver raccolto tutti i dati. Distorce il giudizio"Primo volume che leggo delle avventure di Sherlock Holmes e del Dottor Watson, e mi chiedo perché io abbia aspettato così tanto..Sherlock Holmes è irriverente, irritante oltre ogni limite, un po' arrogante, sarcastico e assolutamente affascinante. Le conoscenze che ha sono molto vaste e il modo in cui le utilizza nel caso è veramente on point. Il caso è molto interessante, ma naturalmente la parte che davvero coinvolge di più è la sua risoluzione da parte di Sherlock, come dimostra anche lo stupore delDottor Watson, con il classico approccio da persona che ritiene il tutto estremamente palese e che ritiene persino noioso dover spiegare. Si capisce non poco palesemente la poca stima che Holmes ha nei confronti di Gregson e Lestrade, sempre grazie al suo sarcasmo.La scrittura di Arthur Conan Doyle mi è piacuta davvero molto, forbita ma scorrevole. Mi ha annoiata leggermente la backstory di Jefferson, ma capisco che sia necessaria per capire a pieno le ragioni che hanno portato agli omicidi.
