IndoorDame There are really lots of little mysteries to solve in this story. There are good clues that invite you to play along with the questions surrounding Sherlock‘s disappearance, reappearance, and attempted murder. But the way it‘s written is misleading in that it really invites you to completely forget about the framing mystery with Ronald Adair. 5mo

dabbe @IndoorDame Exactly. So much time is spent on setting up that mystery as a locked-room one, but it wasn\'t at all. It was just an expert-shot-through-the-window by Moran. 5mo

CogsOfEncouragement The only thing I thought maybe I could have picked up on was when Watson notices two men obviously keeping lookout on the street, that those were policemen, not bad guys. IDK, should I have realized that?

@IndoorDame I read this in two sittings, and I thought that was why I totally forgot about Adair lol but like you said it was written that way. 5mo

Librarybelle Other than figuring the older man Watson bumps into has to be Holmes in disguise, I did not pick up on any clues. I‘m terrible at that! 5mo

dabbe @Librarybelle Lordy, so am I! I just like to follow along and read; I don\'t really even try to solve the mystery--that goes for all of them, Nancy Drew included, of course! 🤩 5mo

Librarybelle @dabbe I‘m always surprised when I guess things! 😂 5mo

dabbe @Librarybelle #dittogirlfriend! 🧡🤎💛 5mo
