And here I am once again, driving the Sherlock Holmes van for the month. [I also drive the Man From U.N.C.L.E. one occasionally, and it astounds me how many authors are to be found in both fandoms. I love it, because it means that we are assured of getting lots of high quality work.]
This author is new to me, but I thought very highly of her work and will be reading her other stories.
Why this must be read:
Franzi presents us with one of the "lost" stories, which in this case is briefly referred to in The Adventure of the Norwood Builder. Holmes has just recently returned from his "death" in Reichenbach Falls, Watson's wife has died and the two men are still feeling their way around each other.
The writing captures Doyle's style perfectly: "Good morning, Watson. What can you tell me of the Island of Bali?" It was with these words that my good friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes interrupted my breakfast, one rainy Monday in April of the year 1894.
"There are still one or two points that confuse me, Holmes." We had returned to Baker Street and settled ourselves in front of a comfortable fire.
How often have we heard something like that?
The case is not particularly complex but in my mind it's not the real point of the story. I focus more on the relationship between the men.
Note: the Balinese in the story are written from the perspective of Holme's time. They perfectly reflect the nineteenth-century attitude of Colonialist Britain. We would view the people differently today.
There is affection between the two men, but no overt slash. However, I think you'll find the ending eminently satisfying.
