"Sherlock Holmes" by William Gillette & Arthur Conan Doyle
Delightful story of Holmes going up against Moriarty. Surprises included Holmes' cocaine addiction - I had forgotten about that - and Holmes actually falling in love with the persecuted Alice. All in all, very enjoyable.
"The Speckled Band" by Arthur Conan Doyle
Not so enjoyable. The heavy-handed villain is too obvious and the young lady too pathetic. The snake and snake-charmer were interesting touches.
"Ghastly Double Murder in Famed Detective's Flat" by Yuri Rasovsky
Bizarre twists - some clever and some annoying. Holmes & Watson turn on one another and Holmes sets up both Watson and Mrs. Hudson the housekeeper. I wonder what Doyle would have thought of this . . . I don't care for it.
