This book isn’t exactly what I was expecting of such a well known classic, but it was pretty good. There was a lot of… interesting views on the lds faith, but the author later stated that he was misinformed. I had no clue who the perpetrators was or how he did it, and was definitely confused in the second part.
I really liked how the author made sure Sherlock had his faults and how he showed Sherlock’s humanity. I also liked the development of his and Watson’s friendship.

Moderate: Violence, Religious bigotry, and Murder
It portrays the LDS faith in a negative (and mostly incorrect) manner.
