#NoPlaceLikeHolmes
I can definitely see myself rereading this one.

IndoorDame I somehow thought we were chatting about the second half next week, so I still have a couple more chapters. I‘ll chime in a few days when I get to them. 6mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame no worries. It‘s quite possible I got the dates wrong. I‘ll check my notes. (edited) 6mo

CatLass007 @Cuilin @IndoorDame Right. I have the entire schedule for the rest of this year and through 08/09/2025 that was posted a few weeks ago. See you next week! 6mo
CogsOfEncouragement This was a reread for me. It's been 11 years, but I was unsure how much I was just remembering vs how much I was genuinely picking up on. I really enjoyed this one. I had the inkling that the Stapletons were not siblings, but indeed married. I liked the confusion caused by the escaped convict on the moor. As in life, there are pieces to other puzzles in the way of the one we are working on. ⬇ 6mo
CogsOfEncouragement I do remember that in my first read I was quite on edge when the fiery hound was in pursuit of Sir Henry. Remembering the trick to it made it a much more mild adventure to read this time. 6mo
dabbe @Cuilin Yep, I have it down for 9/21. I've not finished yet, so can I answer next week? 🥰 6mo
Cuilin @dabbe of course 🤦♀️ I‘m away next weekend so subliminally that may have played into my mistake. 6mo
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement I wondered at them being siblings when Doyle let‘s us know they look nothing alike. 6mo
dabbe @Cuilin No worries. I'll be sure to come back and add my two cents (if I have any!). 🤣 6mo
Daisey This is definitely one of my favorite Sherlock stories, especially of the longer ones. I think it all works together so well! There are things happening throughout, not just an elaborate reveal close to the end like several others. 6mo
eeclayton I'm finally caught up with you all! I enjoyed this one a lot, especially Watson's atmospheric descriptions of the moor. 6mo
Cuilin @eeclayton Yay. The moor sounds spooky yet beautiful too. 6mo
Cuilin @Daisey I loved it!! 6mo
IndoorDame I felt like the penultimate chapter was the climactic scene. It was fun to look back in the last chapter and see which of my predictions were right, and get answers to questions I‘d still been wondering about (especially since it‘d been long enough since I‘d read this that my memory was super spare on details). 👇🏼 6mo
IndoorDame But switching from Watson narrating the action to Holmes‘s exposition months later changed it from feeling like the novel to feeling more like any of the other short stories and wasn‘t as much fun. 6mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame yes, I noticed an energy switch in Retrospection too. 6mo
AnnCrystal The scene with fog rolling in, that seemed to increase the level of concern... 6mo
Cuilin @AnnCrystal yes a misty fog always adds an element of mystery and concern. 🌫️ 6mo
AnnCrystal @Cuilin 😉👍💝. 6mo
