The Complete Sherlock Holmes | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

#haikuaday #haikuhive @Cuilin

Started this journey to read the canon with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes back in December 2023. It ended today with our last read. Thank you, Sherlockians, for this fabulous quest. We did it! The game will always be afoot. #sherlocked

Canon's read again.
An accomplishmenet indeed.

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

With today‘s last story in the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion group, I read the entire Holmes canon. Thanks to @dabbe and @Cuilin for leading the group.

This final collection of Holmes stories hints at Conan Doyle‘s almost reluctance to write more. Some are good, and some are not up to the caliber of prior stories. Yet, I liked the collection overall. A good way to spend a half hour reading one story at a time. #CatsOfLitsy #Xander #SebastianKitty

Susanita I want to scritch that kitty between his ears. 😻 18h

rubyslippersreads ❤️ to see kitties reading. 😸 17h

Cuilin Agreed, I liked the collection too even if they were not as good as previous stories and novels. 17h

Librarybelle @Susanita @rubyslippersreads Xander is so soft too! I think the fish oil he has to take for his heart helps keeps his coat so glowy and soft. 16h

Librarybelle @Cuilin Yes! 16h

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday this week went fast 1. We were at my sister‘s cottage last weekend 2. Started my Sherlock Lego set 3. The Globe is printing a pic everyday from The Beaverbrook‘s collection, I read The Frame-Up to my class a few years ago and it is set in The Beaverbrook art gallery - it‘s a great middle grade novel 4. Finally started my basement glow up 5. Summer Shakespeare last night was an LGBTQ reimagining of Romeo & Juliet ❤️👏🏻🎉

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | Agatha Christie

This post contains spoilers

show me

2. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is considered one of the best if not the best crime novel ever. Crime Writers' Association voted it as the best in 2013, and the Mystery Writers' Association named it the 12th best novel in 1995. Participants cited the twist at the end for their voting choice.

What do you think? Is this the best crime novel or one of the best? Why or why not? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

OutsmartYourShelf There are other Christie books that I've enjoyed slightly more, but I'd put this one in my top 10 of Christie reads. 2w

kspenmoll One of my top reads of hers but she was so prolific it‘s hard to choose! 2w

MallenNC I can see why this one was voted a top mystery. The ending, the unreliable narrator, and the twisty solution to “who done it.” 2w

See All 8 Comments

dabbe I still consider AND THEN THERE WERE NONE as my all-time favorite, but this would probably be a close 2nd (though I haven't read all of her books--one of the reasons I'm thoroughly enjoying this group read). And IMHO, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES is the best mystery novel ever. #sherlocked 2w

MallenNC @dabbe And Then There Were None is my all time favorite also. It‘s so good! 2w

suvata I‘m also a fan of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE which, I believe, was the first Christie book I read. But, having said that, I was first a fan of Sherlock Holmes. So I would put Sir Arthur Conan Doyle above Agatha Christie. 2w

BarbaraJean I think it's one of the best and possibly Christie's best, because it's so intricately put together. Her choice to frame it as Sheppard's narrative is superb and accomplishes exactly what is needed for the twist. That said, I honestly don't like it as much as others of her books. Partly because I don't like feeling tricked, even though the clues are all there and what feels like trickery really isn't! I love unreliable narrators, but ⬇ 2w

BarbaraJean (Cont'd) ...I like to have a sense that they‘re unreliable. I enjoy trying to figure out what‘s true or not, and what‘s being withheld. This didn't feel like an unreliable narrator until really late in the book, because Sheppard keeps himself so completely in the background—so that aspect of it is far less satisfying to me. 2w

The Cambridge Companion to Sherlock Holmes | Janice M. Allan, Christopher Pittard

I'm attending a weekend conference in Derbyshire and, not feeling the necessity of checking my ticket, I've arrived at 8:30 for a 9:00 start, but it actually kicks off at 11:00! 🤦🏻‍♂️
Oh, well, there's worse ways of spending a couple of hours than sitting in a conservatory with a book and a coffee 📖☕😌

Daisey

Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Audio Collection | Arthur Conan Doyle

This note from Holmes to Watson in “The Adventure of the Creeping Man” seems such a clear example of his self-centered perspective when it comes to asking Watson to join him. He has no consideration for any of Watson‘s other responsibilities.

“I received one of Holmes‘s laconic messages: ‘Come at once if convenient—if inconvenient, come all the same. —S.H.‘”

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes #Sherlocked #quote

Cuilin, dabbe

dabbe Spot-on description! No work is more important than Sherlock's--to Sherlock, of course! #sherlocked 🩵💙🩵 1mo

Cuilin But of course, if the game is a foot, there is nothing else, more important. To Sherlock that is. 😆 1mo

Daisey @dabbe @Cuilin Yes, it's a perfect example of how he sees his work as the most important. 1mo
