Librarybelle I hope we learn more about the tattoo and its meaning and perhaps the connection to Moriarty! I suspected the priest hole was important when Holmes brought up “old house secrets” to the inspector. I was right! 😂 now

Cuilin @Librarybelle absolutely if you‘re going to mention a priest hole it better be used in the plot in someway. I also think we‘re going back in time. There are some unanswered questions. now

Librarybelle It kind of reminded me of the very first story we read, with the next section alluding to a past circumstance (the convoluted long backstory from the first story we read popped into my mind. I section 2 is not like that). The reveal falls in line with other reveals. I think, overall, this story has more substance, as it is longer than a short story, which really helps bring out all of the details. now

Cuilin @Librarybelle yes! There‘s a great energy/excitement yet the pace is calm. My curiosity was maintained without anxiety. now

I hadn‘t heard much about this mystery and feel it‘s somewhat underrated. I really enjoyed part I. What say you?

Librarybelle I liked this one too and have not heard much about it. I found I had to keep reading this section, I was that engrossed that I did not want to stop. now

I continued my yearlong reads on the right

I continued The Valley of Fear #NoPlaceLikeHolmes and started Rest is Resistance #SheSaid

I continued listening to the tagged

I read An Academic Question

The author event this week was cancelled, so I started Beautyland instead, but so far I‘m not sure what I feel about it

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes I am so glad I joined this buddy read. It has been both entertaining and enlightening. The Sherlock Holmes Definitive Audio Collection has proved to be an excellent investment. It is edited and narrated by Stephen Frye, who is absolutely marvelous. His introductions to the home novels and short story collections are brilliant, as is his narration. I just listened to his introduction to the tagged book. He provides (cont)⬇️

Cuilin, dabbe

CatLass007 fascinating context for this novel. I do remember watching the movie he mentions, the Molly Maguires with Sean Connery. I don‘t remember Richard Harris, but who could remember Richard Harris when watching Sean Connery? I grew up in West Virginia. I am a proud believer in labor unions, although I have never been a member of one. I would encourage you to watch The Molly Maguires, and I also would encourage you to watch the movie, Matewan, (cont)⬇️ 11h

CatLass007 about the labor struggles in West Virginia. It stars Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, and the always brilliant James Earl Jones. I just looked it up on IMDb and discovered that it also stars or features many people who were not famous at the time but who are now famous or highly respected in the field of acting. 11h

Daisey I‘m listening to this collection as well and loving it! 11h

CatLass007 @Daisey Are you co-hosting this one? Or maybe I‘m confusing it with something else you‘re co-hosting? I‘m just now asking myself this question. 11h

Daisey No, I‘m just following along with this one and not even participating in the discussion much, but I‘ve really been enjoying revisiting the stories on audio. 11h

CatLass007 @Daisey This is the first time I‘ve ever read any Sherlock Holmes. Are you co-hosting #FellowshipOfTolkien? Maybe that‘s where I‘m confused. (edited) 11h

dabbe @Cuilin and I (@dabbe) are hosting #NoPlaceLikeHolmes. We have been reading the canon in publication order and are now on Doyle's last novel, THE VALLEY OF FEAR. Feel free to tag #NoPlaceLikeHolmes to see all of our posts, and if you'd like to join our group, let me know, and I'll tag ya! 🩵🩶🩵 11h

CatLass007 @dabbe I did tag you and @Cuilin but when I saw @Daisey‘s post I confused myself. I‘m going to blame it on lack of sleep and hit the sack. 10h

dabbe @CatLass007 Our bads! You are now on the list, m'dear! 🤩😂😘 10h

Daisey Yes, I‘m cohosting the Tolkien read. Sometimes it does get complicated keeping track of all the readalongs. Looking forward to The Fall of Arthur! (edited) 10h

CatLass007 @dabbe How did I end up off the list? Because I‘ve been participating since the beginning. And I always get tagged on the discussion posts and the reminder posts. Not important though. 9h

CatLass007 @Daisey Well, both buddy reads have lasted for years, so that kinda is what got me confused I think. I‘m skipping Arthur, because it‘s not available as an audiobook and I think I would do better if I could listen and read the print at the same time. But I hope y‘all have a great time and don‘t take me off the tag list, please. 9h

dabbe @CatLass007 Probably because I'm a moron and somehow lost you! So sorry about that! You are now and forevermore on da list! 🤩😘 8h

CatLass007 @dabbe I know you‘re joking at your own expense, but things like that, if they happen frequently, make us feel bad about ourselves. You most definitely are not a moron! More positive self-talk is hereby ordered for you. 8h

This was a reread for me. Over ten years has passed though, and I didn‘t remember much. I adore the characters of Holmes and Watson and enjoyed digging in with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes
