Cuilin
The Musgrave Ritual | Arthur Conan Doyle

Librarybelle I liked the riddle…admittedly, it‘s a little eye rolling to me, but it also has layers of history and secrecy. It‘s a code to something far bigger than the Musgraves themselves. I really had no deep thoughts on her fleeing & never being caught, though I applaud her resourcefulness to escape when she could. The “hysterical” woman stereotype was a little too much for me, but we‘ve discussed perceptions of women in past stories, so no surprise there. 4mo
Cuilin @Librarybelle imagine women have feelings and emotions. 😮 I thought it interesting that Doyle said fiery and Celtic together since he would be considered a Celt too, being from Scotland of Irish descent. Of course he‘s a man and in control of his emotions. Lol. I like the riddle too. 4mo
IndoorDame Oddly for all that she‘s fiery and Celtic, and suffering from a touch of brain fever and all that 🙄 I found this story emotionally flat so I also didn‘t think about whether she should have been allowed to escape or whether she should be prosecuted for her crimes. 4mo
dabbe It's interesting to note that in the the Granada TV version starring Jeremy Brett, it very clearly shows that Rachel threw herself into the mere with the bundle, and it actually shows her body being recovered later. Brain fever, indeed. 😱 Justice appears to be done in the tv show. 4mo

The Sign of the Four | Sir Arthur Doyle

Another excellent edition to the Sherlock Holmes series (#SeriesLove2024). This one flowed a bit better than the first and started to give us more insight into Holmes himself. I‘m slowly catching up on #NoPlaceLikeHomes
