A Scandal in Bohemia

Emma Wang

In this holiday I read A Scandal in Bohemia. This is a long detective story from the series of Sherlock Holmes, and this story is about the royal family of Bohemia.

The author of this story is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This story started on the 20th of March, 1888, and it began at 221B Baker Street.

There are two main people in this story. At first, of course one is Sherlock Holmes, a great detective. A lot of people usually visit Holmes at 221B Barker Street when they have some difficult questions. And the second main person is his best friend, Dr Watson. He is always working with Holmes and taking note of the cases. So this story is from Dr Watson’s notebook.

This is a story about the king of Bohemia and his old lover. When the King of Bohemia was still a prince, he fell in love with a woman whose name was Irene Adler, but in the end, he left her. Now the King wants to marry, but the King is worried about Irene because Irene has a photo of her with the King. So the King of Bohemia visited Holmes and found help from Holmes. Holmes agrees to this case and Holmes tries to take back that photograph of the prince and his lover. Holmes was very clever to get Irene to show the photograph to Holmes and Holmes saw where the photograph was. But Irene was aware that she showed the photograph to Holmes at the same time. The final result is Irene ran away and Holmes takes the photograph with the King, and Irene Adler is only a respectable woman for Holmes.

I think the best point in this book is the lover is aware the 'pastor' is Holmes, because it reflects the wisdom of a woman. I started reading this story in the morning on the 6th of January and I finished reading it in the evening on the 6th of January. I think this book is very good and very interesting. The English level I rate as about right so I want to introduce this book to all my friends.
