“Why not take police precautions
against him?” [FINA]
When reading "The Final Problem," it's difficult not to be
caught off-guard. After all, it opens with Watson telling us these
are the last words he'll write about Sherlock Holmes.
But when we step back and look at the story with sober eyes,
we realize that the police story Holmes tells Watson just doesn't
add up. And it's just a Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us
know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the
air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
