Eye of the Crow Book Review
Rating: 4.5/5
Hello everyone, sorry for the delay on May's book review. Last month, I graduated from middle school, so I was a lot busier than usual. I'm posting this book review and will still post the normal end-of-the-month book review for June :)
On the last day of school, many of the teachers were clearing out their classrooms, so students had the chance to take some books for free. I looked around with my friends and was able to get 4 books. From my selections, I decided to read Eye of the Crow first because it is a murder mystery and has a fascinating cover. This book takes the perspective of teenage Sherlock Holmes after he is thrown into the violent world of his first murder investigation. From the start, I was immersed in this book, from the incredible details to the intricate plot.
I enjoyed that the book's ending is not predictable. Although there is no crazy plot twist, the story unraveled in a way that didn't give away too much about the ending but helped the story progress. The narrative really shows how much Holmes's childhood molded him into who he is as an adult. My favorite character was Sherlock, of course, because I enjoyed reading about his thought process and how caring he was. I also found many of the other characters interesting as well, such as Sherlock's loving parents and Malefactor, who hated Sherlock but respected him at the same time. I recommend this book if you are looking for a short and engrossing read.
Residents of London wake up to the news of a murdered woman who was brutally stabbed in an alleyway in the dead of night. No one knows who the woman is, and the police are nowhere close to solving the case. Finally, the police come to suspect a butcher's apprentice, who was nearby the murder scene. However, young Sherlock Holmes doesn't believe the apprentice was responsible and decides to take a closer look at the crime scene after he notices key details that no one else seems to see. But as Sherlock dives deeper into his investigation, the search for the murderer becomes dangerous, not only threatening his life but the people around him as well.
