Then I checked online to find out more about this story.
I did enjoy reading this first encounter of Watson and Holmes, but felt as if the two parts could have been separate books; a western romance and the Holmes mystery (that should have had parts of the murder's thinking sprinkled within to give us the murder's rationale).
This was not one of my favorite books to date, but I did enjoy reading it and will read more of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries.
