The only reason I didn't rate it five stars is because I did not like some of the themes presented in this story. Some of the description used for the mulatto servant seemed very racist but I also understand that the author belonged to a different era. However, the story was still as interesting as any other of Doyle's stories.

I love Sherlock Holmes and this was a quick read.
Holmes receives a telegram from someone seeking his help. The man shows up at his home and as Watson would say "The game was a foot".

Apparently I don't like Sherlock HOlmes as much as I once did. But still a nice break from more serious classics I've got going.

This would make a good movie. There's enough sub plot to be fleshed out. Good visuals...

Another of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's marvelous mystery stories.At the outset , the plot seemed to be quite complex but as it unraveled through Holmes's intelligent scheme of deduction by gaining evidence, things fell into place. A fresh thing which I found in this story was , a character who did in a way match up to the ways to deduction and reasoning to solve a crime like Holmes.The character was Inspector Baynes. He seems to have quite a bright future in his field.

Despite being very racist and anti-feministic here, it's an interesting tale, well-written but in my eyes quite dull considering the rest of the Canon.
