aribThe short, short version- We meet The Woman, Irene Adler, in her only appearance in canon.
In a nutshell, it's a classic blackmail story. I *do* like that Adler isn't just a damsel in distress, and is able to match wits with Holmes and Watson.
The king's a bit of a goof.
Next up, The Red-Headed League. I'm going to try writing the review closer to my finishing of the story. I think they'll be longer as a result.
