What story is this? I can't tell by the picture.

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is Three Garridebs? Taking the manhole into account?

[(Anonymous)]

If it is TTG then I'd probably agree with OP. If it wasn't for the whole "worth a wound"/BAMF!Holmes scene then I doubt anyone would remember it.

[tweedisgood]

The Three Garridebs. Have to agree with OP, it's one of ACD's worst efforts, along with the Mazarin Stone (phoned in money-spinner play script adaptation).

[(Anonymous)]

I think I'm correct in saying that's from The Red-Headed League? It's somewhat difficult to tell from just the illustration.

Assuming that's the case, I don't agree, but I don't think it's one of the best by any means. I think it's a solid story w a clever resolution, but I wouldn't call it a favorite and I'm not going to go to war for it.

[tweedisgood]

Nope, Three Garridebs, popular with shippers due to the scene illustrated. One of the nerdier past-times in SH ACD fandom is about "spot the story from the Sidney Paget illo" (or other illustrators after SP passed away).

I really liked REDH, myself.

[blueonblue]

I think all of the stories in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes are weaker than the earlier ones.

[dreemyweird]

The Lion's Mane, though?

But overall I tend to agree. And for some reason it makes me sad.

[blueonblue]

I'd forgotten about The Lion's Mane! No Watson and one of the more wtf killers.

[dreemyweird]

It made me smile how you referred to it as "one of the more wtf killers"; it sure was wtf.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah.

I don't think there's even anything really controversial about that.
