A Study in Scarlet

I started this book at some point in 2025, but only finished it now. The book has two parts: the first one was Sherlock examining the crime scene and catching the suspect, and second story starts not with the victim nor the culprit, but with the victim's victims, which is full of new characters whom I didn't know how are related to the story. The sudden change of context colded the thrill that was built up to that point, which was a reason why I dropped it. It felt like reading an entirely different story.

So after a few months, it was fine I guess. Be it a different story, what difference makes it if I actually read a different story? By this point, I forgot what the name of the suspect was, so it was until his vengeance started that it appeared clear to me. As the story unfolds, everything falls in its place. It did indeed felt mind-blowing how this unrelated story comes to be intertwined with the one I was reading, just as much as how Holmes' observations and deduction may seem random at first, but everything is connected.

So, while I don't like this style of sudden context change, I think I may try another Sherlock Holmes book before giving up, but for now I will read a different author.
