At the beginning I thought that this is going to be one of my favourite short stories so far since the case itself was thrilling and intriguing. Unfortunately, the ending didn't satisfy me, since no real detective work really gets done and the cleverness of Sherlock isn't portrayed.

This had a little bit of an early Dracula vibe.

Such an incomplete tale. Sure it had its thrilling moments but not enough to even sink one's teeth into. Always heed the warnings of women

one of the more gruesome stories, but an equally enjoyable one. an interesting ending, too. don’t think the engineer will be getting his thumb back, though
