Black Ice- by Andrew Lane

The protagonist of the book is called Sherlock Holmes. He is a quite tall person, he has a brother and he works in the residence of his family, with a not so nice housekeeper called Mrs. Eglantine. Sherlock has a tutor called Amyus Crowe, and he is also kind of a family friend to him. Sherlock is a little uncertain about things he is doing. Sometimes he is then asking Amyus Crowe about things that he is unsure about. But I think throughout the book, he will become more self concious and more confident, and I think he will also be very proud of himself. 

I think that the antagonist of the story is very smart, because he mad it happen, that somehow, when Brinell the footman,Sherlock and Amyus came in, it looked like Mycroft, Sherlock's brother, just killed the man that was sitting dead in the office chair. So in this case, the antagonist was very smart, because when Sherlock and Amyus were in the room, to figure out what the murder, (the antagonist) did, to put a dead man into the room without even being seen, he must  made up a plan for the whole situation. Because after time, they realized that in the case, that the other person that wanted to visit Mycroft was a knife made out of ice. but they also knew that the knife that Sherlock's brother had, didn't look like the knife that killed the person. So I think that the antagonist had made a plan before putting the dead man into the room, And even at the same day,Sherlock followed a mysterious person all the way to the waterloo bridge, because he thought that that man was the one who killed the man in the room, but when the man realized that Sherlock followed him, he wanted to talk to him, but Sherlock didn't want to tell him why so the man said that if Sherlock brings him a kid form the streets, he will get half a crown. So far, the story looks very mysterious to me, because yet, I don't know why the man wanted a kid from Sherlock for half a crown.

  1. Ines, I liked how you put a lot of detail in your book and you made the book sound really interesting. Good job! I am reading the 4th book in the series so I didn't know what happened so after reading this I understood a bit about what happened. Rin
