okjaaaaa's review against another edition
having read all but 2 of the sherlock holmes novels from watson's perspective,,,,,, having sherlock as the narrator is so off-putting i don't know how to describe it

One of my earliest travels to the world of Sherlock and the mind of Arthur Conan Doyle.

It's not a mystery if you ever lived near the sea! But I kind of like that since its a solo-Holmes adventure, and he hasn't lived near the sea, he has to use his methods to figure it out.

the gayest thing i’ve ever read.
i actually got so sad when john mentioned that people expect sherlock to eventually fall in love with a woman and sherlock just goes silent and tries to explain (for the 98483th time) why he doesn’t want that and john is trying to tell him that it’s fine and he should do whatever he wants
also john a canon vegetarian lol ???
sherlock, now retried, lives in rural sussex, in the south downs, isolated from everyone except his housekeeper and his pet bees (yeah he’s a beekeeper). he very rarely sees john anymore, but spends a lot of time with another friend of his, who is an academic slash headmaster at a nearby school. he goes swimming once in a while with some of the other teachers at this school too, they’re all friends. he’s so happy it’s quite sweet, a great way to end the sherlock canon. only a few more stories to go :)

A plausible as well as interesting mystery that is different from the other cases of Sherlock's casebook, as it is narrated by Sherlock himself and set after his retirement and move outside of London. Unfortunately, John's missing.
