The Adventure of the Dying Detective | Arthur Conan Doyle

1 post | 4 read

Mrs. Hudson has been through a lot as the landlady of Sherlock Holmes. But nothing has worried her as much as the private detective being too sick to leave his bed. She calls for his partner, Dr. John Watson, to attend him. Can Watson bring a specialist to cure this dying detective or was it all an act?

The Adventure of the Dying Detective | Arthur Conan Doyle

so-so

Wasn't familiar with this story so I gave it a quick read via my Kindle app. Typical ACD Sherlock Holmes, which is to say neither bad nor especially engaging. Holmes really is a jerk to Watson much of the time, isn't he?

AmandaBlaze I never got into traditional Holmes, maybe because my Dad was so fanatical about it. I did like Laurie King's version, though. 3y

braddsibbersen I generally find other authors' takes on the character more interesting. Literally read this story on a whim, in part because it was so short. 3y
