The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness, and Obsession | David Grann

Late Independent Bookstore Day post: Of course I found my way to some bookstores yesterday. The Wolfe book was on the freebie shelf, and I haven‘t even read the first in Lyla Sage‘s series, but because I really love the covers, I went ahead and bought the second one. And the socks, well, that‘s just how I live my life. There‘s reading books and there‘s buying books, and I‘m really good at both. 😆🤷🏼‍♀️

Complete Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

Happy Saturday! This morning‘s book and breakfast includes catching up on this week‘s Sherlock Holmes story and probably listening ahead for next week. “The Adventure of the Engineer‘s Thumb” is not one of my favorites, but I am loving revisiting these stories each week.

Cuilin, dabbe

Cuilin I listen to Stephen as I follow along in my book. 🫶 2d

tpixie Oh! How fun to see your #CoverToCover mug!! The paint chipped away on mine so fast. I miss it.. 2d

Daisey @tpixie I don‘t use it a lot and always hand wash it for that very reason. It makes me smile! 2d

I have a box for 'Les Huguenots.' Have you heard the De Redzkes? Might I trouble you then to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini‘s for a little dinner on the way?”

IndoorDame Some jobs (like this one) are clearly sketchy, but whether people walk into them anyway because they‘re too naive to notice or too desperate to pass I think they still deserve justice when they get burned. 2d

Cuilin @IndoorDame Right? That seems fair. He was clearly targeted. Stark knew he had no family. No one would miss him. (edited) 2d

CogsOfEncouragement When someone confirms you are an orphan and a bachelor maybe realize they are saying “So no one will go to the police to report you missing? Cool cool cool.” And extract yourself from the situation. Also, he was given a story that this fellow wants to cheat his neighbors out of what was theirs. Despicable. To go along with this for high pay is abhorrent. I‘m not saying he deserved death, or a missing thumb… 2d

CogsOfEncouragement …but the engineer is seeing the injustice of not being paid for his help and the loss of his thumb rather than seeing he was willing to work for wicked, greedy men. Escaping to tell this tale at parties seems fine compensation. 2d

Aimeesue @CogsOfEncouragement Definitely. 2d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Also when he complains at the end, he reminded me of Jabez Wilson in “The Red-Headed League“, complaining that he lost his good job of copying out of the encyclopedia, and Holmes rebuffs him by saying he gained at least some knowledge along the way. 😂 2d

Librarybelle Agreed, @CogsOfEncouragement ! 2d

CogsOfEncouragement @dabbe LOL these men are not that sharp. 1d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Too true! The villains have to be as smart as the detective but not the clients! 🤩😂😀 1d

@dabbe

The things I do for littens! Seriously the minute I read about the missing thumb I felt nauseous. This is when I would normally DNF (I know the clue was in the title) But I‘m glad I pushed on. It‘s definitely one I will remember.

Cuilin @pageshifter @AnneCecilie @indoordame @librarybelle @theAromaOfBooks @Aimeesue @kelli7990 @5feet.of.fury @Read4Life @AnnR @mom2bugnbee @pageturner1 @eeclayton @erzascarletbookgasm @aroyse @dabbe @cuilin @mollyanna @Tineke @Larkken @StayCurious @kimrenee @alldebooks @CogsOfEncouragement @catlass007 @CrystalE02 @curiouserandcurioser @Larkken @BeeCurious 2d

IndoorDame Haha, personally I have a thing about those the room will crush you setups. 😱This one was definitely higher on the horror scale than usual. 2d

CogsOfEncouragement That injury even made Watson shudder, so we are in good company to be repulsed. The moldy hallway was creepy. And yeah, @IndoorDame I would not have been so comfortable to go back into the roomsize press on my own to poke around. No way. 2d

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement Definitely darker vibes in this one. 2d

eeclayton Did anyone else get Dracula vibes: journey in the middle of the night, someone waiting at the train station, long ride through unknown regions, arriving at a big house, lady trying to convince man to run away? 2d

Aimeesue Somehow, scenes of attempted murder are more disturbing than the actual murders that take place off stage. 2d

Aimeesue @eeclayton Yes! And this story was published first, oddly enough. 2d

Cuilin @Aimeesue agreed, I like my murders off stage. Lol 2d

Cuilin @eeclayton now that you mention it!!! Creepy 2d

dabbe @Aimeesue Maybe DRACULA borrowed from it? 🧐 2d

dabbe I got major claustrophobia in the almost-crushed-to-death scene. It kind of reminded me of the trash-compactor scene in the original STAR WARS (Harrison Ford again, @Aimeesue!) 🤩 2d

Librarybelle @eeclayton Yes! Total Dracula vibes! 2d

kelli7990 When the thumb was missing, it made me shudder. It made me squeamish. (edited) 1d

Aimeesue Is this the right time to tell you all that I once sliced the side of my thumb off? Or should I not mention that? 👍🏼 1d

Cuilin @Aimeesue love the thumbs up 👍 😆 hope it healed well. I get squeamish due to a horrific news story in my teens about the IRA kidnapping a dentist for ransom and sending his fingers in the mail when his family didn‘t pay up. He did get free, but the kidnapper was on the loose around Ireland for months. It was a big story in the 80s. 19h

Cuilin @kelli7990 I was hoping I wasn‘t the only one. So many enjoy horror. I need all the trigger warnings. 19h
