The Adventure of the Norwood Builder
The Adventure of the Norwood Builder | Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir
5 posts | 8 read
The Adventure of the Norwood Builder "From the point of view of the criminal expert," said Mr. Sherlock Holmes, "London has become a singularly uninteresting city since the death of the late lamented Professor Moriarty." "I can hardly think that you would find many decent citizens to agree with you," I answered.

If you try to be sneaky, Sherlock will get you. Also, done is done with a lie. When you try to embellish it, you end up getting caught in it. Keep it simple. Or maybe don‘t lie. Or fake your own death. #Sherlocked

I guessed at the beginning what happened to the builder, but Doyle managed to confuse me in the middle of the story, but in the end I was correct, although I would have never guessed the reason. This is basically a story of male entitlement. ⠀

Aha! The lawyer did it, or did he? #Sherlocked

@Sarah83 Are you joining in on this round of Sherlock stories?

Sarah83 I read three books at a time now and I don't have much reading time. 😱 Maybe I will start a reread around autumn. 😊 6y
jpmcwisemorgan @Sarah83 Ok! Let me know when you read them again so I can at least follow along with your posts. 6y

First week at the new law firm, where I was greeted with the best freebie in my office: a foldout map of London, and on the back is the story of Holmes to the rescue of an attorney accused of murder!

...I think my husband was only mildly bummed that I seemed more excited about a Sherlock Holmes map than about roses he brought me for V Day, but, they are also lovely and I have kept them alive for 4 whole days. Winning all around! #RiotGrams

danny I recall being JUST as excited if not more. 7y
schmia @danny It really is more a statement on the condition of life. The roses are prettier, but we both know they aren't making it to Tuesday alive. Holmes, on the other hand, is eternal! :) 7y
AvidReader25 I'm with you, Holmes over roses any day. Although the flowers are lovely too! 7y

danny When they finally go, you need to put a sign in their place that says, "THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE IS DISSOLVED" 7y
schmia @Avidreader25 haha, when I return to the office Tuesday and they are sadly dead...it won't take Holmes to figure out the cause, sadly. :-/ 7y
schmia @danny Haha yes! If someone notices, maybe that will solve the mystery of who left that map in my office. Or it will just turn out that someone tossed it in here randomly and forgot all about it. 7y
