#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @Cuilin
#LadyCarfax
IMHO, this one was a dud. We never even get to know what was really up with the Lady Carfax! And Holmes was the rudest to Watson in this one; he was quite the jerk.
Thoughts, Sherlockians?

But I wasn't amused by Holmes' attitude in this one. 1w
CogsOfEncouragement I figured out the two bodies in the casket. I was on the edge of my seat to see if she was going to be found dead or alive. I thought Watson was being quite bad at the job and then Sherlock told him the same. Though, it almost seemed like Doyle was mad at Watson to write it this way. lol 1w
Librarybelle I didn‘t mind this one. Holmes‘ attitude was a bit off putting and reminded me of a strict adult reprimanding a bad child. 1w

Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton agreed. Sherlock‘s temperament in this one is off putting. 1w
AnneCecilie I‘m always fooled and it doesn‘t seem to matter that I have read quite a lot of these stories by now. I wish we had gotten to know more about the how 1w
dabbe @eeclayton 🎯! 1w
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement The possible murder part was interesting; I don't recall such an urgency in past stories as in this one. I didn't think Watson did that horribly, considering he doesn't have the criminal encyclopedia that is in Holme's head. And Green was a stalker who could have killed him! Watson goes through all of that only for Sherlock to severely rebuke him. Not happy with SH in this one at all. 1w
dabbe @Librarybelle I keep wondering why SH sent him there anyway and then ended up going there. Watson does him a favor and goes, and gets nothing but shamed by Holmes. #notcool #imho 1w
dabbe @Cuilin 🎯! Just when we think he's showing growth, too! 1w
dabbe @AnneCecilie It bugs me when something is pulled out of the air--like Sherlock knowing about Shlessinger's ear and who he really was. For a detective story to be truly fair, shouldn't the reader have all the clues, too? Like you, though, I just love reading them and having them be solved for me. Most of the time. 🤩 1w
AnneCecilie @dabbe In theory I agree with, but no matter how many clues I get, I never manage to get it right. Sherlock is probably doing some investigating off the page, like Poirot later would do. 1w
dabbe @AnneCecilie We're not always privy to those little gray cells! 🤩 1w
kelli7990 I liked this story. 1w
