The Stockbroker’s Clerk – a Sherlock Holmes short story

"The Stockbroker’s Clerk" is a Sherlock Holmes short story and part of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes collection. According to The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, it was Holmes 23rd case chronologically.

 

This is my least favorite Sherlock Holmes adventure thus far. There is very little of the witty banter between Holmes and Watson; no quotable excerpts. The illustrations were unremarkable, and Holmes didn’t even truly solve the case. He deduces a few things about motive, but discovers the details of the case in the morning paper.

 

***yawn***

 

It’s part of the canon, so I’m glad I read it.
