The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The Musgrave Ritual and Other Stories

Among the cases which Sherlock Holmes investigates in this collection are not only those ones in which the peccable nature of the criminals and human weak points are being revealed (“Silver Blaze”, “The Cardboard Box”, “The Stockbroker's Clerk”, “The Gloria Scott”), but also the cases in which the solutions of them impel the detective's clients to take humane decisions and commit noble deeds (“The Yellow Face”); in one of the stories, Holmes even tries to reveal the state secret of the Charles I and Charles II epochs (“The Musgrave Ritual”). In all these cases his logical thought, his attention to details, the knack of analysing remain worthy of amazement and enchant.
