Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

  Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is about a super-detective, Sherlock who solves the most complex of crimes in London. He and his friend Dr.Watson get cases from all around in their small apartment. Sherlock is a strange man with even stranger habits, for example keeping tobacco in his slippers, but he is the greatest detective in perhaps all of the world which brings him clientele from all classes and backgrounds. Together Sherlock and Watson go on all kinds of adventures resulting from seemingly trivial cases. Through it all Sherlock Holmes uses his steadfast mental prowess to find the smallest of clues and catch the criminals. 
  This book has many great points including the fact that the characters are very deep and relatable, because you can either sympathize with them or laugh with them based on context. The setting also enhances the story because you can almost smell the smoggy London air when you read about. You can also almost feel the crowds of people, of which any could be a cold-blooded killer. Another part of a reason why I like Sherlock Holmes so much might be my personal interest in murder mysteries. I enjoy this suspense and thriller kind of theme. Anyone who enjoys this kind of book and wants to be fully thrilled should definitely give one of the Sherlock novels a try this summer.
