14.5k听books23.7k听followersSir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.

In The Adventure of the Reigate Squire Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would return to the standard approach of having the Sherlock Holmes case narrated from Dr Watson鈥檚 perspective; the two preceding stories, The Adventure of the Gloria Scott and The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual, had both been tales told by Holmes of early cases.
In the case, Conan Doyle introduces international scope to the work of Sherlock Holmes, and whilst previous cases had seen him work primarily in London and the Home Counties, at the start of The Adventure of the Reigate Squire the detective returns from the continent, after a case that had taken in three countries.
Holmes would end up in Reigate, Surrey, where the detective was supposed to be recuperating, but of course then has a case to solve. The case that is presented to Holmes is by no means the most difficult one, and all that the detective needs to do is look at the physical evidence. Whilst there is no great deductive work undertaken, the story does manage once again to show the superiority of Sherlock Holmes over the run of the mill policemen.

La verdad es que este fue un caso bastante curioso, raro y entretenido a pesar de que sucedi贸 supremamente r谩pido, pues de un momento otro tuvimos a los culpables enfrente sin que hubiera pasado pr谩cticamente nada en la investigaci贸n.
Fue curioso porque en teor铆a Sherlock y Watson estaban descansando en el campo despu茅s de un caso muy extra帽o que nombran, pero que no describen, y me gust贸 que en este caso con el que se topan uno vive un poco enga帽ado porque parece que nos est谩n mostrando una faceta m谩s d茅bil y m谩s humana de Sherlock, pero en realidad todo era una actuaci贸n para agarrar a los asesinos, lo cual fue bastante divertido, no lo negar茅.

This adventure concerns the burglery and murder at the squire's house. It turns out with a nice little twist. I recommend this book to all.

Satisfactory read.
I am a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but I am not a BIG FAN. I'm reading them in a heavily-annotated volume which explains everything. Historical context. Language and customs. References to other stories, etc. I'm also using another book which explains each story, so I am getting it from all sides. (I read each story first before delving into background, etc. Sometimes the annotations are longer than the stories. hehe.)
One thing to note about this story: graphology was a diff. science back then. (Today it's more or less a pseudoscience, used mainly to identify a person by his/her writing.) But in the late 1800's it was believed one's personality, intentions, relationships with others, and so on, could be discerned by examining one's writing. Even if we still believed all this, I would not. Reason? My mother, an outgoing, gregarious and highly-opinionated woman had a tight, fine hand, similar to her mother's. My dad, a quiet, intelligent, soft-spoken man had this outrageous handwriting with huge loops and swirls. At any rate...
The story...
Holmes, coming off a difficult case which gave him all sorts of (unwanted?) notoriety, needs a break, a vacation - a holiday at a wealthy man's estate in the countryside. Watson is particularly worried about his friend's state of health, both in body and mind. But as it turns out, a murder - and two burglaries - have occurred on nearby estates. Of course Holmes must get involved! He solves the murder, and burglaries, largely based on a scrap of paper and a few words of writing...
Well, it's cleverly done, and interesting, but also relies a lot on what writing 'experts' believed at the time. And so, just...
Three stars.

I thought it was time to dip back into the world of Sherlock Holmes between some of the other novels I've been reading, with this light & easy adventure for the great detective. It's a pretty straightforward tale, in which Holmes solves a mystery with far less effort than usual. Mind you, he had been recovering from an exhausting adventure in France (not recorded as part of the canon) featuring Baron Maupertuis. Now, that might have been a story well worth hearing.

Re-reading some Holmes stories for a read-along - this was clever and funny and entertaining as always!

There is more action than in most of the stories included in this collection, but that doesn't make this one better.
On the contrary, the plot is rather childish, not to mention the very convenient scrap of paper, written (why on earth?) by two men!?!
But, as I've mentioned before, Conan Doyle's writings are like jokes: the more you read one after the other, the less you'll enjoy them...

5 Words: Perfect length for a cuppa.
This one made me chuckle a little in parts, it was a glimpse of a slightly different Holmes, one with more of a sense of humour than had previously come through in the stories.

Holmes does it again even though he's been sick. However his illness wans as he and Watson go for a visit at a friends local estate. It just happens that a burglary has recently happened there and once again, Holmes is revived and up and running. This one had a twist I didn't see coming and made for a little more action than most. Overall a great mystery and a lot of fun.

3 Stars. How's your penmanship? In these days of laptops, tablets, iPhones, spell-checking, text message acronyms, missing punctuation and, what have I forgotten, does anyone write on paper anymore? I ask because you are about to get a lesson in the lost art of handwriting analysis. Including a few points which I'm not certain were ever accepted by authorities on the subject. But graphology as a science was never totally dismissed as a pseudo-science like phrenology, that crazy study of head shapes as an indicator of personality and ability! Holmes and Watson are at the home of Colonel Hayter in Surrey when they hear of a strange break-in nearby. When a similar event occurs at the Cunningham's and it includes murder, Inspector Forrester visits the Hayter house and asks for Holmes assistance. Sherlock was there for rest after a long and complicated case in Europe. Now he's back at it. The case hinges on a torn scrap of paper with seven words on it: "at quarter to twelve learn what may." From this Holmes draws numerous conclusions. Mercifully he doesn't outline most of them. It all leads to a satisfactory result to the puzzle in Reigate. (May 2022)

I think this story rekindled my love for Sherlock Holmes. We find him in a weakened state but yet he is still brilliant. And the twist is really good bringing about the ending I don't want to post spoilers.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle use of words is amazing, I find his vocabulary vastly superior to my own. Which in a way makes me feel less than happy about my own schooling, and yet I am taking it as a challenge to some day become his equal and match his excellent use of words.
Highly recommended this:

Watson takes us into the Sherlock Holmes world another time to uncover a new mystery and try to solve a crime in Reigate, a city in the southeast of the United Kingdom.
Holmes demonstrates his intelligence and quick reflex by discovering the murderer. A very fast but also very classic hour reading.

5 stars & 5/10 hearts. This is another of my favourite books. The storyline is fascinating, with Holmes being ill, a very unlikely and fascinating father/son duo, excellent detective work, and some lingering questions鈥� The humour is excellent; and I love seeing Watson鈥檚 unselfish friendship!
Content: drinking, smoking, one exclamation of 鈥渉eavens.鈥�
鈥淭he point is a simple one, but the Inspector had overlooked it because he had started with [a] supposition..... Now, I make a point of never having any prejudices, and of following docilely wherever fact may lead me.鈥�

Apparently Sherlock Holmes does not hold any charm for me written as an adult. This makes me slightly confused....for a minute...and now I'm over it.

An excellent short story from the Sherlock Holmes collection. AKA The Case of the Cunningham Heritage, Holmes must prove a woman innocent of having killed her husband.
Quite enjoyable and funny as well, this is a great introduction to the Holmes saga.

"SYNOPSIS: Watson takes Holmes to a friend's estate near Reigate in Surrey to rest after a rather strenuous case in France. Their host is Colonel Hayter. There has recently been a burglary at the nearby Acton estate in which the thieves stole a motley assortment of things, even a ball of twine, but nothing terribly valuable. Then one morning, the Colonel's butler tells news of a murder at another nearby estate, the Cunninghams'. The victim is William Kirwan, the coachman. Inspector Forrester has taken charge of the investigation, and there is one physical clue: a torn piece of paper found in William's hand with a few words written on it, including "quarter to twelve", which was approximately the time of William's murder. Holmes takes an instant interest in the note.
......
Holmes knows that it would be useful to get hold of the rest of that note found in William's hand. He believes that the murderer snatched it away from William and thrust it into his pocket, never realizing that a scrap of it was still in the murdered coachman's hand. Unfortunately, neither the police nor Holmes can get any information from William's mother, for she is quite old, deaf, and somewhat simple-minded."

Watson takes Holmes to a companion's bequest close Reigate in Surrey to rest after a somewhat strenuous case in France. Holmes finds that his administrations are required here, yet he likewise finds that his current disease serves him well. I didn't locate this short story especially charming or in any capacity fascinating. This short assumes its obvious position as my minimum most loved of all that I have perused so for in the Sherlock Holmes arrangement.
I feel that the plot and the idea were not sufficiently solid a main thrust to truly draw in the peruser.

An action-filled mystery, and the ways in which Holmes determined the truth was quite clever.

Breve pero delicioso. Holmes demuestra por en茅sima vez estar varios pasos por delante de los dem谩s. Leer sobre sus t茅cnicas despiertan admiraci贸n y sana envidia a partes iguales.
Le penaliza ser tan corto. Su estructura narrativa est谩 lejos de ser brillante. Pero estos casos en los que aparecen salas de fumadores y palacetes victorianos me pierden.

This is a rather amazing and well done Sherlock Holmes story where the master detective's wits and savvy are put to the ultimate test, and of course, he comes out on top in the end.
