Quite an engaging mystery, although it could have been more complicated - along the lines of The Hound of the Baskervilles - with the family secret. It was fairly compelling, however, and the ending is almost funny in how simple it was. The narration was interesting, as well, even though it was told almost entirely in a flashback.

I quite enjoyed this one! There was a certain atmosphere of mystery and the outcome was unpredictable. I also liked the shift if point of view, with Holmes telling Watson - and therefore us - about his first cases.
