This is my 199th read for the year
From Amazon:
When Mary Morstan presents Sherlock Holmes with the mystery of a missing father and a cryptic message sent from an anonymous benefactor, the great detective is propelled into a complex case of treasure, intrigue, and betrayal. Alonside his trusted friend Dr. John Watson, Holmes embarks on a thrilling chase that takes them from the fog-shrouded streets of London to the bustling docks of the River Thames. As the mystery deepens, the danger intensifies, leading to a confrontation that will test not only Holmes's brilliance but the very bonds of friendship and trust between the detective and his devoted chronicler. This second novel in the Sherlock Holmes series is a masterpiece of mystery and adventure that stirs the mind and quickens the pulse.
This was a pretty good book. I have not read that many Sherlock Holmes books, and I should. I enjoy them and they are well written. My favorite part is that he borrowed a dog to help him with the case saying that the dog could out play the police any day. The story moves along nicely even in this very short book, and it wraps up well. Glad I read it.
Stars: 4
