More effective as a Bible study.
An unusual idea for readers to enjoy Holmes, but I wasn’t
impressed. The book began with the Needle’s Eye, the means to Holmes and Watson’s
ability to time travel, but I was left confused.
It continued with ten Biblical mysteries to be investigated.
Holmes and Watson took the time traveling trips where they witnessed scenes and
discussed clues. Holmes recited Scriptures from memory and the two connected
the dots. I found it odd that Holmes memorized Scriptures when he doesn’t share
the faith, and Watson was his typical annoying self.
Reading the book as a novel, my thoughts turned to thinking
maybe it was more effective as a Bible study. The reader would answer questions
provided in the back of the book, which included specific scriptures to follow.
Desiring to finish the book with a pearl or two, as much as
I was confused and frustrated, I decided to read the investigative questions
provided. They were thought provoking enough for pondering - always a good
thing.
To be fair: the book was presented with two suggestions on
how to read it, as a Bible study or as a novel/collection of individual
mysteries.
