A Study in Scarlet

The book follows the same dry formula from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Case presented, Holmes investigates it and based on small details he solves what seems to be impossible.

Three things contributes to make this book larger then a short story:
- the case is a more slowly presented, although this doesn't add too much to the story. It is still satisfying to hear Holmes logical deductions.
- there is a small presentation of how Watson and Holmes meet, and also a minor introduction to the police inspectors
- there is a story inside the main story. When the culprit of the murder is found, he tells his tale and it takes a whole chunk of the book. It was a nice sub-story, but nothing special about it.
