A young Sherlock Holmes must stay with his Uncle Sherrinford
and Aunt Anna instead of going home. He is
assigned a tutor by Mycroft and befriends a young homeless boy in Farnham. His tutor is a big American who is a stickler
about information and making every experience into a lesson. Mr. Crowe, his tutor, is obviously the
influence on Sherlock that makes him into a person capable of solving mysteries
by the most mundane details. He even
shows Sherlock how to evade attention and question without anyone being the
wiser. He makes the young man into the
consulting detective that we all know.
The mystery of Death Cloud is not something that even as a
reader is presented in a frivolous way. There
is nothing more frustrating and condescending than an author that lets the
reader know what is happening behind a mystery and yet, the protagonists are
left in the dark.
The solution is not only plausible and eloquent; it allows
for Sherlock to develop a lifelong fascination of his. His obsession with bees is born within this
book and a hint of the future drug addict is even hinted at, in the end of the
book.
This book is good to read because it allows the readers of
Sherlock Holmes to theorize about how he became the man he was in a valid
format.
