Just finished reading "The Way Through the Woods" by Colin Dexter, my first one of him. It is an Inspector Morse mystery. It is a mystery about a sudden disappearance of a Swedish maiden in England but the case comes to life fully one year after her exit for whatever reasons. Dexter has a different style of writing compared to others such as Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle etc. in the sense that he keeps on dropping some hints here and there by weaving in and out of the story by juxtaposing with riddles etc. The plot keeps the reader in suspense and I like his interplay with relevant quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I would say that Dexter is a "dexterous" writer in that sense. Goodreads 3/5

Sherlock Holmes classics
Just finished reading four Sherlock Holmes classics, "Valley of Fear", the last Holmes, the famous "Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Sign of Four" and "A Study in Scarlet". Sherlock Holmes has always been my favourite, keep reading and re-reading it all times.
