Pros

There is a reason this is a best seller. All i want to know now is if there's a sequel coming and if there is, where can i preorder it?

Author maria konnikova uses sherlock holmes and dr. Watson as personifications of different ways of reacting to events. She shows how holmes organises the storage capacity of his brain to hold salient facts for later use whereas watson has no method o...  Read More

The second of these chapters discusses a fascinating investigation of a supernatural phenomenon. I believe this book will and should inspire its readers, who have given thought to becoming a professional investigator, to delve further into a wide rang...  Read More



Cons
