Thank you Craig. I like your devotion and inventive mind as you walk the old trails of phantasy. Sadly, this particular story reminded me the reality of July 1942 when my grandfather along with another ~3000 Jews of the small town Dunaivsi, Ukraine, was forced in and locked by Nazi Germans and their Ukrainian collaborators in an abandoned phosphate mine to die of thirst and hunger. The few witnesses who I met in 1985 in Dunaivsi told me that the screams would not stop for 2 weeks...They you go.
I wished that the plot had been a little more exciting by Holmes and Dupin engaging in the more customary war of wits as befalls that between men of great analytical deduction, in the pursuit of their foe.
Oh no he didn't! I am familiar with the Poe story (I actually first read it only last year) and I'm really enjoying the clever way that Mr. Copland is weaving Dupin into his already wonderful Sherlock Holmes world. I was not at all expecting this, but I think it's great. This author just keeps getting better and better! He's a really clever chap, and he is by far the best 'post Arthur Doyle' writer of Holmes stories.
Is there anyway to actually 'read' the above story? All the French is beyond me, and I'd like to look them up. But I can only do that if there is a printed copy or "blog" to read from.
I didn't notice anything spoken in French apart from a few names. His accent made it hard to understand. You can always press the CC button to transcribe.
I don't know who wrote this but it is awful.... Why would Mrs Hudson call the man a 'Frenchie' and shoo him away? Holmes was frequently at home to many international guests and himself spoke French, had a French Huegenot grandmother and received the Legion d'Honeur. This is utter garbage. Beneath contempt.
A instant classic.. thank you from the insomniacs out there these stories make the long quiet evenings more enjoyable..thank you.

Very good! Thank you!
Love all the mysteries 👍👍❤️
Why do writers and filmographers think that pistol whip isn't likely to knock people out.
I think maybe one used at the rest copied.
Wonderful!
Awesome thanks

shame you cant make out which one is talking as they both sound the same, even Mrs Hudson..
NOT A HENUINE SHERLOCK HOLMES / Conan Doyle story 🤨🤨🙄😒
Hard to listen when the narrator mispronounces Lagavulin.
How should it be said?
