MY OPINION
I particularly enjoyed reading this book, because the book tries to explain some mysteries during the story. For example, "since her father disappeared, she received a large pearls via the post on the same day every year. Who is sending them?"
Although this mystery is not so mysterious but it was an interesting and well-written story. If someone is looking for a mystery and investigative book, this it is.
In my opinion, this book is really my cup of tea. Another thing I would like to say is may be everyone who read it they will be surprised at Sherlock Holmes's conclusion.
Reason for the above : I think the first page of this book is enough to explain that the book is mysterious and that it has an interesting story to follow it.
The English : This book is good for intermediate level. Sometimes, it can be difficult to take it in all at once, because there are many unknown words in some paragraph and it is difficult to get used to the structure of the sentences.
Overall comment : Overall, it is an interesting book to read , and quite mysterious. There are so many useful words to be learned.
Evolution : 7/10

Hi Shahran,
It sounds like an interesting book.
If there are too many unknown words, choose a simpler book, as the main reason is to improve your reading skills, not to increase your vocabulary.
