ReplyDelete"The Last Sherlock Holmes Story" Level 3
It is a mystery book.
1. We almost forget that Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes were real people.
In 1926, Dr Watson passed away, then he left a locked box which says it shouldn't be opened for 50 years.
In 1976, the box was opened. There is a packet of pepers which tell an unbelievable story. We can say it is possible but it is hard to believe. Now, we can read and guess whether it is true or not.
2. In 1888, a note arrived to Sherlock Homes. It says Inspector Lestrade wishes to see him. At that time, there is a famous murder called "Jack the Lipper" who always murders women in Whitechapel. The inspector asked Holmes to catch him. Then, a fighting between Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes had started and terrible ending was waiting for Holmes.
I would recommend this book because it has so much mystery. I felt very excited when I read it and guess what is going to happen next.

a mystery
1.I think all of us have heard name of Sherlock Homes. But we might forget that him and his friend, Dr Watson existed in the same age as Arthur Conan Doyle.
And this story was written by Dr Watson, but it was hidden for a long time. Fifty years passed, some people who had found and read it say that it was unbelievable. Now, please make sure the truth of this story by yourself.
2.In 1888, many terrible murder case had happened at Baker Street of London. Only women of Whitechapel were killed by cruel and mysterious murderer called "Jack the Ripper".
Then inspector Lestrade demanded help from Homes, and he started challenge to arrest Jack. Which will become winner? And who is identity of Jack?

This book's written form is like a diary. The story tells us what happened on that day. It's kind of a biography.
1. There are 24 people in this story and the main character is the woman, named Olivia, who came from European country. She got bord in the luxuary life in Europe so she came to India, where the weather are severe, to find new place to live where has totally different life compared to the country she used to live. She experiences many differences and fell in love with men she meets. She complained about not getting pregnancies but at last, she does.
