Well the Granada series surely toned this one down to a palatable taste. Aside from some parts I liked this one

What little experience I have with horses helped me to appreciate this one more that I might have otherwise.

I loved the setting of this and the bit of twist I had not really expected. I always love it when Holmes goes off on another subject as well as the obvious

I liked it well enough though, I think there was enough fodder here for another full length novel.

For those loving the times of the roaring 20's its all here for you. Crooked cops, car chases, shootouts in speakeasy's. This was fun.

Personally I enjoy Dupin. I see without any doubt that Conan Doyle was influenced by Poe. Though I have to say that even if Poe had carried on with Dupin for a full series, unless he took the time to develop the friendship between Dupin his companion, Sherlock still would have been ore palatable to the public in general. Poe has a very "artistic pen" that most people would have and still would need a dictionary to understand.

This was sooooo not like any film I have ever seen of the same title. I loved this and I hated every film I ever saw of it. As I have said on more than one occasion, how did they get those movies out of this story?

I am watching the Granada Series then I read the same story out of the book, partly just to see just how accurate the show is, partly just for the enjoyment of the read. In this case it would seem I liked the show better. I do love the idea though. How can anyone not like secret rooms.
