Reviews for The Adventure of the Six Napoleons
14 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story is one of The Return of Sherlock Holmes.I thought this case was just strange case, but this was also interesting.As expected, Holmes solved this case by his brightness. In this story, he solved two cases in one case. He catched themurderer and found the stolen treasure. He was too clever!Now, Holmes is necessary person for Scotland Yard!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I reread this story, having just watched the modern Sherlock TV series episode The Six Thatchers. This is not one of the best stories but the eponymous busts provide a neat solution to a jewel theft that has baffled Inspector Lestrade and his colleagues.

The Adventure of the
Six Napoleons
It was no very unusual thing for Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, to look in upon us of an evening, and his visits were welcome to Sherlock Holmes, for they enabled him to keep in touch with all that was going on at the police headquarters. In return for the news which Lestrade would bring, Holmes was always ready to listen with attention to the details of any case upon which the detective was engaged, and was able occasionally, without any active interference, to give some hint or suggestion drawn from his own vast knowledge and experience.
On this particular evening, Lestrade had spoken of the weather and the newspapers. Then he had fallen silent, puffing thoughtfully at his cigar. Holmes looked keenly at him.
Anything remarkable on hand?
he asked.
Oh, no, Mr. Holmes—nothing very particular.
Then tell me about it.
Lestrade laughed.
"Well, Mr. Holmes, there is no use denying that there is something on my mind. And yet it is such an absurd business, that I hesitated to bother you about it. On the other hand, although it is trivial, it is undoubtedly queer, and I know that you have a taste for all that is out of the common. But, in my opinion, it comes more in Dr. Watson’s line than ours."
Disease?
said I.
Madness, anyhow. And a queer madness, too. You wouldn’t think there was anyone living at this time of day who had such a hatred of Napoleon the First that he would break any image of him that he could see.
