This is hardly a case where Sherlock Holmes does anything really.
He goes and the answers are put before him rather than he actually doing any sleuthing.
Rather progressive storyline in many ways which is why I give it 4 rather than 3 stars.
Though one does wonder what happened to Watson's wife.

I&Holmes made the same mistake so it's cool. Also I'm sucker for this kind of ending. Really liked the flashes of friendship between our noble heroes, they felt very genuine.

This is my favourite Sherlock Holmes story hands-down. Even though the mystery is not that complicated, the ending more than makes up for it and I wish that this story got more attention. More than any of the others, this is one that could be adapted for a more child-friendly audience and still work for adults.

لغز لم يلعب فيه شيرلوك ولا واتسون اي دور سوآ الاستماع والاستنتاج فقط ..زوج يشك في تصرفات زوجته مؤخرًا و يطلب النصحية من شيرلوك .. يخبره شيرلوك بما يجب عليه فعله فقط

اسلوب السرد ممتع و الترجمة حافظت عليه بروعته لم تنقص منه شيء
