- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this short story, Sherlock Holmes investigates the disappearance of a race horse and the murder of his trainer. The police have arrested a man for the murder, but Sherlock’s investigation points in an entirely different direction. He pieces together clues, including “the curious incident of the dog in the night-time”, to find Silver Blaze and determine who murdered the trainer. It’s a well-constructed mystery. It’s easy to see how the seemingly trivial clues fit together once Holmes explains it, but nearly impossible to see before the explanation is given.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What little experience I have with horses helped me to appreciate this one more that I might have otherwise.
