Review: Another really fascinating mystery with Holmes and Watson, I love reading these and trying to solve the mystery, they are always such oddball cases and I really love that as you never know the twist that’s coming or who is the culprit from early on.
A beat up hat, a goose and a rare blue gem is all they have to solve everything and have to string together from the tiniest clues and get the answers. Holmes is so clever though as there was literally nothing to go off of on this one yet he still managed to solve everything and figure out who done it.
I love these mystery books, they are really just so much fun and so fascinating and most of the time unsolvable. I love that they’ve been made so much easier and more accessible in these easy classics.
