BOOK REPORT (STORY 2)

THE DEVIL'S FOOT

In this adventure Watson relate us how Holmes make use of all his skills to find the solution in a case that seemed imposible, this is a story of the book "Sherlock Holmes Stories" written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

All begins with a travel to the western part of Cornwall that Holmes and Watson made for rest. There were a few villages where Holmes met a lawyer Mr. Roundhay and his friend Mr. Mortimer. Everything had been well until something strange happened, the sister of the Mr. Mortimer had been murdered and his two brothers were in a state of mind uncommon all they were poisoned. The next morning a huge man called Dr Leon came also to investigate the death of the girl cause they were in love in the past.

The main suspect was Mr. Mortimer but a few days later was murdered too, Holmes was a little confused so he decided to made a new research and he started investigating the both scenes of the crimes, he found similar clues in both cases but after he got all the information about the family of Mr. Mortimer he had resolove the case. Certainly Mr. Mortimer was the person who poisoned his brothers and because of that Dr Leon was looking for revenge so he decided to kill him in the same way.

I liked all the stories of this book all are always different each one show us a diferent skill of Holmes and in this one at the end Holmes manifest that he is reasonable person too, for the reason that he left Dr. Leon in freedom even knowing that he was the killer, Holmes comprehend that he hadn't another way to solve the problem, and he was sure that he was a good person.

I suppose that the message of the book is that we never shouldn't give up to the problems and we always need to search for the best inteligent way to solve it, like Holmes.
