This was a reread for me. Over ten years has passed though, and I didn‘t remember much. I adore the characters of Holmes and Watson and enjoyed digging in with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

The Return of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

Published in 1905, this collection of short stories brings back the legendary Sherlock Holmes, whose apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem“ had left fans in despair. In most stories, Doyle manages to recapture the magic that made Holmes a global sensation in the first place; however, some of Holmes's deductions rely on fortunate or improbable circumstances, straining the suspension of disbelief for more critical readers.

Kerrbearlib I've never read Sherlock Holmes before - I should check out one of his books. 1w

dabbe @Kerrbearlib They're my favorite! If you'd like to join us, check out #NoPlaceLikeHolmes. Very low pressure and lots of fun. 🩶🖤🩶 1w

eeclayton It's interesting that he doesn't only “recapture the magic“ by bringing SH back, he even gets rid of Watson's wife and career to put them both back into the Baker Street flat and recreate their original situation. 1w

AnishaInkspill this is helpful in reminding me how much I want to read these, distracted with other reads and so it gets pushed so far back that it's easy to forget, so yeah, this is helpful 1w

TheAromaofBooks @eeclayton - Right?? I felt like that was a little hard on poor Watson 😂 1w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w

Completed the last story and thus the full “Return” collection for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes . The stories are a mixed bag of suspense and ho-hum mysteries. In each, Holmes uses his deductive reasoning to solve the crime. Personally, I like the more suspenseful stories with a bit of murder (what does that say about me 😂).

Thanks for leading us through this collection, @dabbe and @Cuilin !

Cuilin I like my mysteries to be a bit more murderous too. 🔪 🩸 1w

dabbe Quite a few where Holmes lets the criminal go free, too. I also love a good murder mystery! 🤩❣️😂 1w

#TheSecond Stain

Our last story in THE RETURN OF SH! Next up, the final novel, THE VALLEY OF FEAR. The 1st discussion will be over Part 1 (chapters 1-7) in TWO weeks: February 1 (already February!!!) The 1st discussion will be led by @Cuilin. The 2nd discussion will be over Part 2 (chapters 1-7) on February 22nd and will be led by @dabbe.

Thoughts, Sherlockians?

Librarybelle I was definitely thinking about Jane Eyre and poor Bertha! It actually made me think more of that whole situation versus any other Holmes‘ stories. 1w

dabbe @Librarybelle Yep. She tried to kill Jane and Rochester. And to use “Creole“ to show a woman who is impassioned. Prejudice, anyone? 😳

I also thought of “The Naval Treaty,“ “A Scandal in Bohemia,“ and “Charles Augustus Milverton“: a story with a stolen document, a story where a personal something is hidden, and a story with blackmail.“ Doyle needs some new tropes! 1w
