Review: Holmes has been working too hard and became sick, to help him relax and feel better Watson takes him to a friends place in the country. His rest is disturbed almost instantly as news of a burglary and death crop up, in which Holmes cannot resist a chance at solving the case.
I really enjoyed this one a lot it was a long winded unexpected and twisty case and I always enjoy these ones the most. It was such a strange case with a small amount of clues, a ripped note, a few random things stolen and a coachman murdered. It was so interesting and hard to really get the facts in order.
Holmes being the genius he was figured out everything much quicker than anyone else did and knew where to look for the evidence he was missing. His mind is insane and I don’t know how he thinks the way he does.
This was a really great book in the series and I enjoyed reading it. I always highly recommend these books the mysteries are always so much fun, they are condensed so are much easier to read and there are illustrations throughout.
