My Favourite Detective

Hey Guys, I am back with another post, this time with another series review. Before starting, I want to apologize to the “you didn’t post on the weekend” comments. I had a Leadership Conference on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is why I didn’t have the time, nor the energy to write a new article (I also didn’t have a topic, but I got one now, so – yaay!) and didn’t write one.

The series that I am going to review today is a series called “Sherlock Holmes”. Most of you may know about it, some of you may not. It was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (yep, he was a night and nope, I am not jealous nor am I crying right now) who was from the United Kingdoms.

The protagonist of this book is a private detective called Sherlock Holmes who isn’t in the police but still consults some cases. He doesn’t work as a detective for the money, but because he really loves good mysteries. When I was younger, I was inspired by his deductive skills – how could he deduct where a person was from or what was his family background just by looking at their watch? It was fascinating to read these novels.

In the books, it is shown that Sherlock’s roommate/friend/assistant detective, Dr Watson keeps record of all the interesting cases of Sherlock Holmes. Basically, it means that all of his adventures are written on a paper by Dr Watson. These cases were found afterwards and published in the form of books.

The both of them are roommates and live at 221B Baker Street. They go through lots of adventures and solve multiple mysteries in the books. I loved this series and would recommend it to whoever wants to start with mystery/crime novels. This is a good and addictive start after which you can continue with Agatha Christie’s mystery novels.

Throughout the series, Holmes and Watson solve multiple mysteries until they find Prof Moriarty. Holmes greatest arch-rival. Prof Moriarty is as smart as Holmes (controversially so) and the both of them have a very strong relationship that I love seeing in books between enemies.

Overall I loved this book. Period. There is nothing in this book that can improve it further. Unfortunately, there will be no further books (by the original author) so I feel really bad for that. But there are movies and series that are being made about Sherlock Holmes so the character hasn’t been forgotten fully. But I still feel sad because they just don’t make the cut to be in the competition of the books (just like all the movies made from the concepts in a books) and I will always prefer the books over the movies.

Thank you for reading everybody, hope you liked it! I loved it (talking about the books of course!). If you liked this post, consider subscribing to my blog. Put your views in the comment section down below. Share this post with your fellow Holmes fans and non-Holmes fans.

An announcement – I want to try to make this blog a community which is why I am going to start something in which I will announce a book and we will have a set time to read that. We can discuss all about that book in another post. This solves two problems – one that we become a strong community and two I will get content. Hence Proved by the theorem of “Pls help me out <crying>” we shall do this new thing. I will soon announce how we can do it. That was the announcement.

I will see you in the next one. Till then happy reading! Peace.
