![]() ![]() (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)Ģ-6 A Continuation of the Reminiscences of John Watson, M.D. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. Sherlock Holmes is approached by member James Murphys widow, who is miffed at being left penniless by her husband. Society members start dropping like flies. ![]() The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In London, a secret society led by lawyer Thaddeus Merrydew collects the assets of any of its deceased members and divides them among the remaining members. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder.
