No doubt the book is nice but in the 2nd part I got confused if some other story had been started. I couldn't find any Holmes or Watson there. After reading I realised it was connected to the case. But such a big past of criminal wasn't needed there.
Overall good story with details of how Holmes met Watson.

One of the BEST books I've ever read... The tiniest details that we tend to ignore, he captures them and deduces from them. Hats off to Doyle! If he were alive in this era, I'm sure he'd have written stories based on today's modern technology and modern ways of crimes committed.
A Must Read Book.
