3.Book reviews -Sherlock Holmes short stories-

Very early morning, a young woman, dressed in black, came to see us. She looked tired and unhappy, and her face was very white.(p.1)

Today, I read "Sherlock Holmes short stories. It is oxford bookworms library, and written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There were three stories, "The speckled band", "A scandal in bohemia", and "The five ogange pips". I felt "The speckled band" was the most interesting story. It was a little strange mystery. Helen's sister, Jullia dead, but nobody knew the cause of her death, so Helen asked Holmes to help her. Holmes cooperated with Watson who was his buddy. They always solved many incidents and mystery. How could they solve this mystery...?

I like Conan Doyle's story, so I enjoyed to read.
