A review by lizabethstucker
The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans by Arthur Conan Doyle

4.0

Part of the Sherlock Holmes series of stories and novels.

Sherlock's brother, Mycroft Holmes, needs help with the mysterious death of a government employee who was in possession of important government documents, three essential pages of which are missing.

I've always had a soft spot for Mycroft Holmes, a man more brilliant than his younger brother, but a man who prefered to help direct the British government from his office or his club rather than running about London. In this small tale, we can scent the approaching winds of war as everyone is scrambling to find the top-secret submarine plans. 3.5 out of 5.
