#NoPlaceLikeHolmes
I can definitely see myself rereading this one.

IndoorDame I somehow thought we were chatting about the second half next week, so I still have a couple more chapters. I‘ll chime in a few days when I get to them. 1y
Cuilin @IndoorDame no worries. It‘s quite possible I got the dates wrong. I‘ll check my notes. (edited) 1y

CatLass007 @Cuilin @IndoorDame Right. I have the entire schedule for the rest of this year and through 08/09/2025 that was posted a few weeks ago. See you next week! 1y
CogsOfEncouragement This was a reread for me. It's been 11 years, but I was unsure how much I was just remembering vs how much I was genuinely picking up on. I really enjoyed this one. I had the inkling that the Stapletons were not siblings, but indeed married. I liked the confusion caused by the escaped convict on the moor. As in life, there are pieces to other puzzles in the way of the one we are working on. ⬇ 1y
CogsOfEncouragement I do remember that in my first read I was quite on edge when the fiery hound was in pursuit of Sir Henry. Remembering the trick to it made it a much more mild adventure to read this time. 1y
dabbe @Cuilin Yep, I have it down for 9/21. I've not finished yet, so can I answer next week? 🥰 1y
Cuilin @dabbe of course 🤦♀️ I‘m away next weekend so subliminally that may have played into my mistake. 1y
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement I wondered at them being siblings when Doyle let‘s us know they look nothing alike. 1y
dabbe @Cuilin No worries. I'll be sure to come back and add my two cents (if I have any!). 🤣 1y
Daisey This is definitely one of my favorite Sherlock stories, especially of the longer ones. I think it all works together so well! There are things happening throughout, not just an elaborate reveal close to the end like several others. 1y
eeclayton I'm finally caught up with you all! I enjoyed this one a lot, especially Watson's atmospheric descriptions of the moor. 1y
Cuilin @eeclayton Yay. The moor sounds spooky yet beautiful too. 1y
Cuilin @Daisey I loved it!! 1y
IndoorDame I felt like the penultimate chapter was the climactic scene. It was fun to look back in the last chapter and see which of my predictions were right, and get answers to questions I‘d still been wondering about (especially since it‘d been long enough since I‘d read this that my memory was super spare on details). 👇🏼 1y
IndoorDame But switching from Watson narrating the action to Holmes‘s exposition months later changed it from feeling like the novel to feeling more like any of the other short stories and wasn‘t as much fun. 1y
Cuilin @IndoorDame yes, I noticed an energy switch in Retrospection too. 1y
AnnCrystal The scene with fog rolling in, that seemed to increase the level of concern... 1y
Cuilin @AnnCrystal yes a misty fog always adds an element of mystery and concern. 🌫️ 1y
AnnCrystal @Cuilin 😉👍💝. 1y
