I am amused to read that I am not the only insomniac who enjoys listening to these wonderful Sherlock Holmes adventures that are so well read!

Some readers have claimed that Doyle "never" explained what Sherlock's hair color was but he DID right in the beginning, "Like a strange lank bird with dull gray plumage and a black top-knot." so the debate is settled. Holmes had black hair. There are also references to him having black eyebrows in other stories. So, Doyle did give us clues, he just didn't directly spell it out. Thank you for settling this years-old debate!

I always love how civilized the scenes are when Sherlock speaks with his captured assailant. The person gets handcuffed, sits on a chair, and then they have a sophisticated conversation about the crime in its “naked truth.”

Watson's got his vices. he's admitted to them before. "And other vices when I am well", we know he plays pool so wouldn't be surprised if he plays cards, too. he also likes to indulge in Turkish baths etc and he seems to have been married more than once. It's safe to say that Watson is a social butterfly who probably spends a little too much on frivolities. If I had a friend who was less prodigal and more austere than me, I'd probably get them to lock away my debit card too.. I'm a gremlin for books and strange objects, I need someone like that. 😂

Suicide attempt, though it's scattered throughout the story rather than clearly spelled out all at once. Hilton and Slaney fire on each other; Hilton misses, Slaney doesn't. Elsie closes the window shutters on instinct as Slaney flees, then shoots herself with her husband's gun once she sees that he's dead. Remember that there were two shots fired from Hilton's gun, which is what originally led the police inspector to believe that the incident was a murder-suicide between husband and wife alone.
