Continuing with the theme of Victorian fiction, this time it's technically Edwardian, I guess. I recently read a study in Scarlet and the Sign of the Four, which turned out to be the first and second Sherlock Holmes novels consecutively, which I was not aware of. And my super short review is that I thought they were dumb. Yes, I said dumb. These aren't real detective stories. They don't have that satisfying feeling of real research and discovery of solutions. The stories revolve around Holmes' quirky personality and the solutions of the mysteries depend on that too. Which makes me just not really care. Plus the second half of each book is basically a separate novel which tells a tremendously detailed story of the life of the perpetrator, which again I don't care about. The third Sherlock Holmes novel was Hound of the Baskervilles, which I read in high school more than 30 years ago, and I had the same feeling about it back then. Thank you for watching.
