Reviews for The Musgrave Ritual (Easy Classics)

[cbl_tn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In 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.
