Why read this book?

Newly returned to London, Dr Watson shares rooms with Sherlock Holmes and discovers his unusual approach to observation. A puzzling death draws them into an investigation in which small details matter. This first Holmes novel introduces their partnership and contrasts patient inquiry with the temptation to settle on an easy explanation.

A starting point for readers curious about Sherlock Holmes, with a mystery that invites attention to evidence as well as atmosphere.

Our reading: look for evidence before choosing an explanation.

A passage from this edition

It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.
