His Last Bow

The greatest detective of them all is back...'About to spring out upon my appalled senses, lurked all that was vaguely horrible, all that was monstrous and inconceivably wicked in the universe'.

用户评价

不怪BBC，原著就是这样深情款款，the dying detective真的不是爵士写的同人吗。这本写于一战时期，看终篇His last bow里的暮年福尔摩斯，总想起2015年Ian老爷爷演的《福尔摩斯先生》，老福养蜂的日子一定是悠闲自得的，走下神坛、孤独凄凉都是我们凡人臆想的，嗯。

打四颗星是因为里面不少桥段都是爵士在之前的短篇里用过的，创意有限，毕竟爵士也不是犯罪小说专职。在认识了福尔摩斯先生和华生医生这么多年之后，他们的情绪和逻辑已经成为脑海中熟稔的片段，在贝克街的壁炉前，永远有两把摇椅，被酸腐蚀的试管架，波斯拖鞋里的烟草，和亲爱的福尔摩斯先生对华生医生的喋喋不休。

Yes I am impatient enough to start reading the original and making a lot nonsense notes. After His Last Bow, I came across Sir Conan Doyle's preface of The Casebook with the line that there will always be a Sherlock with his Watson. T^T I believe in Sherlock, forever. 三集片快回归吧！
