The Adventure of the Norwood Builder
May. 27th, 2018 05:51 pmalafayeHappy Sunday. This week we are reading The Adventure of the Norwood Builder
A quick recap before we get to our discussion:
-Holmes bemoans cases of interest when a young lawyer entreats him for help
-A man in Norwood who works as a builder has been assumed dead when part of his home was burned, a body removed from it, and the study littered with blood
-The young lawyer is arrested and while Lestrade goes on his case, Holmes conducts his own, starting with the lawyer's family
-Though the father had gone out to get more information on the lawyer, the mother was too eager to tell how the builder had once been her paramour, but she turned him down for being a blackguard and he mutilated her photo, sending it to her on her wedding day. The home of the builder, however, reveals nothing
-Lacking further leads, however, Holmes returns to Baker street; Lestrade calls upon them and says the case was finally sealed when a fingerprint was found in the builder's home, in blood and matching the lawyer's
-Holmes, knowing better as the print had not been there before, creates a ruse of fire and surprises the builder out of his hiding spot. He had found himself in a bad spot with creditors and while he had been sending his money to a pseudo name to escape them by creating his own death, he decided to also get revenge upon his old flame by framing her son for the murder -- by a will naming the lawyer as the heir.

alafayeThis week we are reading The Adventure of the Lion's Mane.
A quick summary (I had so little time this week, but I did manage to read it with everyone this time!)
Holmes is in retirement and thoroughly enjoying it. However, he seems to never be far from solving crimes. One morning while out on a walk, a friend of his who usually goes for a morning swim staggers up the cliff and collapses -- dead!
He has a note in his pocket for an assignation, but the trail goes cold when the meeting is for the evening. Notably, however, there was a competition for the affections of the lady in question.
Both the murdered man and his competition worked for a man who assured Holmes that despite past troubles, they were good friends. Still, the local police go out to arrest the man for the murder.
But soon after, the accused staggers in with the same wounds as the murdered man -- Holmes rushes to the scene of the crime and discovers a jelly fish far from home. A jelly fish which easily kills men.
So no murder -- just a simple case of mistaken trails.
Thoughts?
