A Study in Scarlet

Just a fantastic book overall. There's something about the way Sherlock's stories are presented that keep me on the edge of my seat every time. This being the introduction to our protagonists, is an amazing start. 

The first half of the book, focused entirely on Sherlock and Dr Watson, from how they get to be roommates to how they get involved in the mystery of Drebber's assassination, is just perfect.
I didn't love the pages set in Utah on the love feud between Jefferson Hope, Stangerson and the aforementioned Drebber as much as I did the ones set in England and that actually included Sherlock and Dr Watson in them. 
Even though I understand the huge importance of that part of the story, they're simply not as good as the rest and I would've preferred it if it were shorter and overall, we had a bigger part set in England. And because almost half of the story tells said love feud, I don't give this book five stars.
