I think I missed something regarding the poison.

Librarybelle To me, it seemed a little odd that she took the poison. I also wasn‘t 100% sure why they went to the Russian embassy. 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement 1 - not sure

2 - Her life was horrible, and she didn't want to have to do time for killing the secretary?

3 - I thought SH and W wanted to provide the evidence to free Alexis from his sentence in the Siberian salt mine as the Mrs. requested. 1mo

Daisey I agree with @CogsOfEncouragement that she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and they went to the embassy to share the proof of evidence. 1mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle I think the poison was a bit extra but as @Daisey said she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and therefore sent to prison. 1mo

dabbe @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle ... what I don't get is why have poison in the first place? It was proven by Holmes that she did not come there to murder anyone. She didn't bring a murder weapon at all--yet she brings poison? Just in case? How would she know she'd be in a place where she could quickly find a weapon if she needed to? 1mo

Librarybelle Good point, @dabbe ! 1mo

Cuilin @dabbe exactly!! 1mo

It‘s Sherlock so possibly but so much information was gleaned from one object. Thoughts?

Librarybelle You‘re right—possibly Sherlock would have figured it out, but, as the title suggests, the pince nez was the pivotal clue. 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement I thought the change in the amount of food being consumed was key. Maybe even someone with 20/20 vision would take the wrong way in trying to leave the house because of the flooring. 1mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement yes, the food was pivotal. He knew the suspect was still in the building. 1mo

dabbe Holmes (being Holmes) probably could have put it together without the pince-nez. The footprints and lack thereof on the garden path is another clue as well as the same type of carpeting leading to the garden as well as to Coram's room. The glasses are the cherry on top of the banana split, as the cliche goes. 1mo

Interested her hear what other people think of this one. It fell a little flat for me but it may be a me issue. Thoughts?

Librarybelle I thought it was a little flat too. For me, it was not as exciting as some of the other cases. I did like the hidden room. 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement Maybe SH's perfect description of the culprit? Seems like something Watson would particularly want to share with his readers. 1mo

kelli7990 I didn‘t like this story that much. 1mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 I see we‘re all on the same page with this one. 1mo

dabbe A day late! So sorry! Perhaps this one was included for its Russian pre-revolution plot or whatnot. Every time Watson mentions all of the other cases that he never writes about, THOSE are the ones I wish we could read! Somebody needs to write pastiches with exactly those titles! 🤩 1mo

"What did you do, Hopkins, after you had made certain that you had made certain of nothing?"

Further evidence that Sherlock Holmes is very much an asshole ?
