Opis

In the gripping narrative that unfolds in the shadows of Victorian London, a brilliant but unconventional detective stands at the heart of a perplexing mystery. When a gruesome murder takes place, the police are baffled, and it is only through the astute observations of Sherlock Holmes that the threads of the case begin to unravel. Accompanied by his loyal friend Dr. John Watson, who offers a more grounded perspective, they delve into the darker corners of human nature and the intricate details that weave the tapestry of crime.

Set against a backdrop of fog-laden streets and societal intrigue, the story takes its readers on a riveting journey from a bloody crime scene to the far reaches of a criminal's past. Holmes's exceptional ability to deduce and reason leads them through a labyrinth of clues, exploring themes of justice and morality as they chase down the true perpetrator.

As the case evolves, not only does it showcase the ingenuity of Holmes's detective skills, but it also delves into Watson's personal reflections and admiration for his enigmatic companion. Their partnership solidifies against the trials they face, creating a compelling dynamic that is both engaging and thought-provoking.

[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.)
