The Man in the Brown Suit | Agatha Christie

On April 5 & 12, I finished the short stories I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. On April 19, I read a college football romance ARC I signed up to read from Chasing Books PR. On April 26, I read the short story I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. Today, April 30 I just finished reading the Agatha Christie book that I had to read for #christiescapers. I haven‘t written a review for it yet but I liked it.

dabbe Note: We will be following the stories the way they were presented in the original anthological publication, not necessarily by publication date of each individual story. Some of these are also (technically) not in the public domain yet, but I have found a link where you can read all of the stories online for free:

Cuilin I just realized Stephen Fry didn‘t record this collection 😔 2d

dabbe @Cuilin Probably because when he recorded the others, most of these weren't in the public domain yet? #bummer 🫩 2d

His Last Bow | Arthur Conan Doyle

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @Cuilin
#hislastbow

Thoughts, Sherlockians?

Librarybelle I had to look up when this first published, as it seemed to foreshadow WWII and the horrors that came with it. It‘s too early for that, though there is dissent in Russia at this time, which we know eventually leads to the deaths of the royal family in 1918. Perhaps Conan Doyle saw the current Russian turmoil as an issue that would result in worldwide issues (it does). 5d

Cuilin I did not care for “A cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared”- ugh it‘s giving “the end justifies the means” and maga. Yuck!! 5d

dabbe @Librarybelle @eeclayton @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement
I agree that there was a bit too much nationalism at the end by Holmes. His statement kind of reinforces the British Empire idea, and UGH indeed! ⬇️

(edited) 4d

dabbe @Librarybelle @eeclayton @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement
A couple parts, though, did make me a bit 🥹. First, when Holmes tells Watson “Stand with me here upon the terrace, for it may be the last quiet talk that we shall ever have.” EVER have? Why? And for being his trusty Boswell, Holmes states “Good old Watson! You are the one fixed point in a changing age.“

What a testament to their enduring friendship. (edited) 4d
