suspense from beginning to end!
An impressive story that grips the reader almost immediately, and only releases him/her in the final paragraph. Here, Doyle shows us a golden rule: when you have a solid and original plot, you just need a few characters to set the wheel spinning at a quick pace; furthermore, the book is plenty of events whereas the number of pages is not! I take my hat off to Sir Arthur. You will do likewise, I´m certain.
