David McK (3562 KP) rated The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes #9) in Books
May 12, 2024
The final entry in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon, which - again - I experienced through a mixture of reading and listening to the Stephen Fry narrated Audible version, and which is also really once again a collection of short stories rather than a single over-arching narrative.
What is unique in this collection, though, is that some of the stories are presented as Holmes himself delivering the narrative, rather than Watson acting as the biographer.
I also noticed - perhaps reflecting the nature of the time in which they were written, and Doyle's own interests - that there are more of the, shall we say, supernatural elements in the case chosen ("The adventure of the Sussex Vampire" springs to mind, for example) although - in all cases - the supernatural elements are later debunked by Holmes himself.
As a whole? I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of Holmes and Watson.

Oh, and if anybody ever wants a perfect example of 'Chekov's gun' (i.e. introduce a plot element early on that must go off later on) look no further than this: the 'Battle Ball' rollerball elements.

Apparently, he’s a cash addict who knows his self-worth. Therefore, he uses logic when addressing a desirable female he’s interested in being with.
‘Gr888’ contains a relatable storyline, harmonious rap vocals, and melodic instrumentation flavored with hip-hop and urban trap elements.
Also, the likable tune is featured on yksopretty’s latest EP, entitled, “888”.
