This short story, more than many other Sherlock Holmes short stories that I read, had the ability to make me really feel what Dr Watson felt. When Dr Watson was utterly baffled, I was also confused and when he was marvelling at Sherlock’s genius, so was I. This book was a really nice crime story, stringing together several seemingly unrelated scenarios in a satisfying manner once the deduction process was revealed at the end.
