    There are some flaws with this book, but I’ll only touch on one here. I feel that Part 2 shouldn’t have been in the book. It seems that it’s just there to make the book longer. The reason I say that is because, Hope explains what happened in Part 2 in the final chapters and states why he had done what he did. (Pardon me for being so general, but I don’t want to spoil the book for any new readers.)
  • Perfect Classic

    My mom is a lover of anything Sherlock, but had never read the books. I decided to give them a try and am delighted that I have taken such a liking to them. I can’t wait to read the next book and recommend this one to my friends. Yes, part II starts a little strangely but I quickly fell in love with the story and was satisfied with how the mystery all connected. Don’t lose hope, stick with the story and I’m sure you’ll find yourself happy you read it through.

    Don’t fall for the catchy title of “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” - meet Sherlock for the first time here with this fascinating mystery of murder, love, and Mormonism. Easy read. Entertaining story. Interesting layout of events. Highly recommended!

    This is where Sherlock Holmes started? What possessed this otherwise brilliant writer to have written this smut, God only knows. SPOILER ALERT Arthur Conan Doyle collected the vilest lies against the “Mormons” (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and twisted them into a grotesque macabre scene of murderous conspiracy in which he slanders (viciously) actual people. This libel is all the more outrageous considering who his target is. The contrast to reality is mind-numbing. About the only thing he got right is the fact that they practiced polygamy (for about 40 years.) The manner and methods he outlined are, however, dangerously misinforming. Based on the current review rating of this book (4.5), it’s evident that most readers are either ignorant of the facts, or they just aren’t that bothered by religious bigotry. Having read Hound of the Baskervilles and Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, ACD vastly improved his writing style in his later books. My recommendation is to read the first chapter or two for the interesting backstory provided on Watson and Holmes. Thereafter, it devolves into A Study in Defamation and should be left to the trash heap of history.
