Librarybelle Does Conan Doyle have an interest in the American West? It‘s considered very unlawful in this period of time. We know that Conan Doyle had a love/hate relationship with Holmes, so maybe this is his way of diverting to an interest of his. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3h

Librarybelle Moriarty is as close to a match for Holmes in regard to wit—according to Holmes‘ thoughts. It seemed odd that Holmes brought in Moriarty, so I thought I had missed something… 3h

Librarybelle It was a surprise to me, but I‘m terrible at guessing things, so maybe it wasn‘t as big as I thought it was! 😂 3h

Librarybelle Definitely a work of its times and is a window to the real thoughts of society at that time. Sad. 3h

Librarybelle I could see part two as a standalone, not necessarily associated with Holmes. If someone handed me part two and gave me no other info, I‘d think it was a good mystery—a little long winded in the middle, but again the twist made it a surprise at the end. 3h

Part 2 in the last SH novel in the canon! A lot like his 1st one A STUDY IN SCARLET, perhaps? 🧐

Librarybelle It does resemble The Study in Scarlet with the backstory related to the American West. As I said in my review, I‘m not the biggest fan of Conan Doyle removing the story from the land of Holmes. I guess I like purely Holmes‘ story, even though this one did have a big twist. 3h

so-so

I enjoyed the first half of this short novel; the second half was not so much. I previously struggled the last time with Conan Doyle‘s telling of past events in America, and this one left me feeling similarly. I guess I‘m all about Holmes‘s deductions and not reading about the lawless American West through the eyes of Conan Doyle!

So-so for me, but this checks off #LetterV #LitsyAToZ and #InThePublicDomain #52BookClub25 ! #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

Cuilin, Texreader, dabbe

dabbe Even though the 2nd half was also a detective story with a Pinkerton detective, he wasn't Sherlock, was he? Can't wait for our discussion! 🤩 1d
