Read as part of Phoebe Read's  a Mystery.

This is not my favourite ACD books, I was a bit disappointed with it. Essentially  it is a story of two halves. The first half is your typical Sherlock Holms novel, then the second delves into the backstory of one of the minor characters.

The second part of the book felt very different to the first half, and I did loose interest quite quickly,
