sherlock60It occurred to me this week as I posted my 60 for CHAS that we've been reading these excellent canon stories, but haven't had any place to discuss our thoughts about them. So here we go with our first official discussion post. In weeks to come, I'll post these on Sunday instead.
What did you think of The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton? Any thoughts/speculation on why Holmes finds blackmailers to be the most repulsive of criminals? Why was he willing to both break the law and potentially a woman's heart to achieve his ends? And how about the excitement in this one? "I assure you that I am armed to the teeth." And, oh, the entire break-in itself, from the discussion leading up to it, to Holmes leading Watson by the hand in the dark, to the great escape at the end and throwing Lestrade off the trail with the truth.
Just a bounty of wonderful stuff! So, what did you think?
