After reading Act 1 and Scene 1, how do you think the story will continue? Do you expect any climax? Explain.

I read this so long ago, I don't recall what I thought after the first chapter. The novel begins like many of the stories of Sherlock Holmes: a case is presented, Holmes gets involved, and the particulars of the crime are laid out before the reader. I knew there would be a main susppect, perhaps McMurdo?
