About this audiobook
Family Tradition steeped in ancient ritual? Is it that simple? The Great Detective doesn’t think so.
In this mystery, Sherlock Holmes recalls one of his earliest cases. The butler of Reginald Musgrave, one of Holmes' former schoolmates, has disappeared, and the local police can't solve the case. Holmes travels to the Musgrave estate and once there not only discovers the butler, but also finds out about the origin of the centuries-old Musgrave Ritual.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this story, Holmes recounts to Watson one of his earliest cases presented to him by his old schoolmate, Reginald Musgrave. The family butler had disappeared after being caught rummaging among family papers containing the Musgrave Ritual, a strange rite that has been observed in the Musgrave family for some 200 years. Holmes took great satisfaction at the beginning of his career of succeeding where the police failed. This story has some similarities to the adventure stories of Robert Louis Stevenson and others during the period, although using the intellectual Holmes as narrator reduces the emotional suspense.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked this one even with the Granada Series having had done it just a bit different
