Just finished reading. Took me around 3 hours I guess.
Unlike some other Sherlock Holmes stories, this one had a completely different story that only makes sense at the very end. Sherlock Holmes part was only important in the first half of the story. The other half was about why it happened the way it happened, which felt like a completely different story until the very end. It was very interesting though. But there was a very little bit that I wanted to know that wasn't described in the story. I'm curious whether Mr. Douglas got punishment, if he did what type of punishment it is. And I'm curious to know whether he got forgiveness from the court or a special treatment from the American government or something like that.
However it was very interesting though. I was so stupidly believing that Mr. Douglas's wife and friend killed him together. Especially the friend. Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle proved that he's a genius & I'm a stupido once again. 😂
