- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of Conan Doyle's last Sherlock Holmes stories, published in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1926. It is one of only two narrated by the great detective himself, with Watson nowhere in sight - this is set after Holmes's retirement to keep bees on the Sussex Downs. The last Holmes stories Conan Doyle wrote are usually considered the weakest, but this is a good one involving an apparent attempted grisly murder in a seaside cove which turns out to have an unexpected and more natural cause. Much better than the pastiche novel The Lady in Black, which I have just read and is a sequel to this story.
