Reviews for The Adventure of the Empty House
50 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In the three years since Sherlock Holmes’s death, Dr. Watson has attempted to use his friend’s methods to solve crimes, but without Sherlock’s success. When Watson goes to Park Lane to look into a man’s mysterious death, he bumps into an old man carrying books. Watson is overcome when the man later reveals himself to be his old friend, Sherlock Holmes. After explaining to Watson how he had survived at Reichenbach Falls, Holmes enlists Watson’s aid in setting a trap for a would-be assassin.The crime at the beginning of this story is secondary to Holmes’s return, which is the real purpose of the story. It’s hard to imagine the impact on Holmes’s fans upon this story’s publication. Today’s readers know that Sherlock Holmes returned after his confrontation with Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls. Contemporary readers only hoped for Holmes’s return.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gotta give this one to the novel, even though Granada showed more emotion
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the return story, where Sherlock Holmes comes back to life from his supposed plunge into the abyss of Reichenbach Falls at the hands of Moriarty after three years and causes Watson to faint for the only time in his life. The details of Holmes's return are of course the major point of interest here; the actual plot of the capture of Moriarty's lieutenant Colonel Sebastian Moran is fairly pedestrian by comparison and it seems implausible such a cunning man would be fooled by the wax dummy against the lighted window routine. It does set things up well for the resumption of Holmes and Watson's adventures together, along with the rather shockingly casual mention and immediate dismissal of the death of Watson's young wife Mary Morstan.
