I can mostly excuse Holmes' trick as necessary to catch the criminal -- but what I can't get over is that even after Watson has fetched the dude and the only thing he has left to do is hide behind the bed, Holmes still doesn't tell him the truth! Now, that's just dickishness for the sake of dickishness. Not to mention a huge risk, given how hard it was for Watson to remain silent when it appeared that Holmes was going to die right there in the room with his murderer. Really the only excuse for that is just narrative necessity on ACD's part -- Watson must be kept in the dark so that the reader is kept in the dark, and that's all there is to it.

But honestly I love DYIN anyway. Can't beat Holmes' rambling about oysters!
