Reviews for The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge

[cbl_tn · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Sherlock Holmes receives a visit from a man puzzled by the happenings at Wisteria Lodge where he had been a guest. A Spaniard of his acquaintance, a Mr. Garcia, invited him to stay at the lodge. Mr. Scott Eccles awoke that morning to an empty house. Mr. Garcia and his servants had disappeared. The police arrive at Holmes’s lodging shortly after Mr. Scott Eccles to investigate the murder of Mr. Garcia. Holmes pursues a line of inquiry starting at Wisteria Lodge, while the local inspector conducts his own investigation.This is an odd story. Mr. Scott Eccles characterizes the case as “grotesque.” The story includes racial stereotypes that 21st readers will find distasteful. One notable feature of this story is that the local inspector reaches the same conclusion as Holmes in his parallel investigation, unlike the Scotland Yard detectives whom Holmes regularly has to correct

Despite being very racist and anti-feministic here, it's an interesting tale, well-written but in my eyes quite dull considering the rest of the Canon.
