I work with adults who have aphasia-a communication disorder that sometimes impacts reading comprehension. I have an Aphasia Book Club. We just finished reading this book in our club. The book was interesting to the readers and we had a great time cataloging the clues as they were presented. A good and quick read. We read it in 5 weeks.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Conan Doyle's Timeless Mysteries!!By elizabeth c. isleyWe read this as a Book Club selection- and everyone loved re-visiting Sherlock Holmes! So craftily presented; vivid imagery and characters- too good; vile; murderous; or smart to be real; STILL got you in their clutches and held you there until it was over- and left you thinking HOW did this all happen; and we not see it coming?! We were informed that this story changed how "clues" became paramount in solving crimes; and how gathering evidence (carefully) became/ changed how detective work was changed; and has remained somewhat the same today.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The First Sherlock Holmes NovelBy Teresa DennisIt was fascinating to read the first Sherlock Holmes novel. You learned how Holmes used deductive reasoning to solve his cases. Dr. John Watson was the narrator. How ironic that he was part of the British Army in Afghanistan and we're involved in the fighting there in 2015. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently enjoying the Masterpiece Series SHERLOCK with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
