BOOK REPORT

The author of this book is Sir Arthur Cohan Doyle, and the books name is Sherlock Holmes Stories. The chapter that I chose is the one called "The Empty House". This chapter is about an unsolved murder in London, but there are a little problem in this case...that Sherlock Holmes is dead.
PLOT SUMMARY
All the story started with an unsolved murder in london to a young man called Ronal Adair, this murder was very strange because aparently this man didn´t have any enemies, Watson who was working with Sherlock Holmes for years in a lot of cases was trying to solve the problen using Sherlock methods, but he never found the answer. So one day an unknwon man appear in his house. The man introduce himself like a neighbour, but it was a nice surprise when watson discovered that the man was Sherlock holmes, just that he was trying to conceal his identity because he knew that Moriarty were not the only person who want to killed him. So he Explain to Watson the way that he pretend his own death.
But now that he had returned back to London he was very interesting in Mr. Adaid murder, and like ever Sherlock had a plan to catch the murderer. So he asked to Watson to go to the house in front of his own house and once there they only wait in the darkness for hours, the only strange thing was that in the house of Sherlock there was somebody exactly like he was. When they were waiting a shadow appear in the room that they were, when this man passed very close tho them, Sherlock Holmes just jumped upon the man and threw him to the grown, it was a surprise to found there to Sabastian Colonel who was the second most dangerous man in London and by the way the murderer of Mr. Adair all because of money.
ANALYSIS
Ok I have to say that this is one of the most interesting chapters in the book because I had the idea that Sherlock Holmes was really dead and I don´t want to despise to Watson but he isn´t good like Holmes, it´s very exciting to know how was the fake death and the way that he hide of all the people who wanted to killed him.
CONCLUSION
I think that is very interensting the way that Sherlock solved the problem, but I think that is a little bit fantasizing that fact that he could survive to all that people who wanted to killed him.
