him, killed the people who had the treasure. Jonathan said "that's not
important already, I threw it all to the bottom of the river".
I have to recognize that I really like this type of books. Actually, the
crime fiction is one of the genre that I love the most. Particularly, the
methodology of Sherlock Holmes to analyze and deduce the case with
many objects. I think that it's a competition of the reader and the
protagonist. So, that can entertain a lot.
Maybe, the things that I didn't like were the minimum dialogue of the
protagonists. In the majority of cases, most of Holmes, they talk about
how insignificant objects are important and why of that. Other thing that
I didn't like is the description of the personality of the secondary
characters. It was very poor.
When I finished this book I realize that the money is not the final goal,
because if your goal was this you can convert to a selfish person, and
you could commit many crimes to make more money.
I would recommend this book because many people should learn a lot of
the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his methodology to resolve the
cases. Especially to people who like the crime fiction and the stories with
police officers, detectives and strange cases.
