Re: Favorite Sherlock Holmes story

wait I have to choose???? [major shutdown]

My top 5 is as follows: The Copper Beeches, The Dancing Men, The Speckled Band, The Red-Headed League, and The Hound. Although sometimes I exclude The Hound for the sake of being contrary to the popular opinion (it really, really upsets me that half of all the adaptations are based on the Hound, whilst The Dancing Men got, like, two, one of which was the Granada version) and include The Veiled Lodger instead.

Boy, do I love DANC. This story was what made me fall in love with cryptography. Though I was a kid, I immediately realized how simple the cipher was, but instead of thinking something along the lines of "well, Doyle is incapable of inventing complex ciphers" I was all like "Oh MY GOD I can do this, too!!11 It is SO COOL!". The idea of substitution ciphers was novel to me; besides, I was smitten with how logical Holmes's explanation was and how badass he sounded when explaining the thing to Watson. And I think I must have realized even then that Doyle could not introduce anything more complicated - he had to give the reader an opportunity to follow the reasoning. Thank you for this, Sir Arthur <3 My seven-year-old self appreciates your efforts <3

And COPP? A smart, brave female protagonist; a colour play; an awesome mystery; Holmes making deductions in regards to the Rucastle family on the basis of the character of their child. Everything in COPP is pure win.
