Fwd: Sherlock Mondays Ep. 28: The Adventure of the Final Problem

[Max Magee]

Hey all, just a heads up that we're nearing the final Sherlock Mondays, and they're getting good! April 8 will be FINA, April 15 will be EMPT, and April 22nd, will be the wrap-up show, likely covering some of what happens in the remainder of The Return, His Last Bow, Case-Book and Valley of Fear.

They're also continuing the discussion with a special 8 week HOUNd reading project, but it's $80 to participate whereas the others have been free thus far.

Sherlock Mondays Ep. 28: The Adventure of the Final Problem

Sherlock Holmes matches wits with the Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarty, and they have a final showdown at the Reichenbach Falls. Mary Alcaro will be our cohost. You can find a pdf of the story as it originally appeared in The Strand Magazine in December 1893 here.

 

This Week’s Sher-locktail

(Every show features a Sherlock-themed cocktail created by cohost Mary Alcaro.)

 

“It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished.”

 

The Final Problem

2 oz. gin

1 oz. green Chartreuse

1 oz. Saint Germain (or other elderflower liqueur)

1 oz. fresh lime juice

garnish with fresh sage leaves and/or fresh thyme

garnish with a Luxardo cherry

 

This drink draws its inspiration from the traditional Last Word cocktail, adding a few Swiss flavors and reminding us that Holmes is a “sage” who will return to us a bit “elder” but all in good “thyme.” In a shaker with ice, combine gin, green Chartreuse, Saint Germain, and fresh lime juice. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. To top it off, add a sprig of fresh thyme, a few fresh sage leaves, and a Luxardo cherry.

 

Sherlock Mondays: The Hound of the Baskervilles

We will continue our Sherlock Mondays Biblioventure with eight special, subscriber-only episodes on Mondays in May and June. Join us as we “Biblioventure” to Dartmoor where a diabolical hound haunts the moors, preying on the heirs of Baskerville Hall. What will the logical, reasoning Sherlock Holmes do when faced with a supernatural creature? Host Edward G. Pettit and our rotating group of cohosts will converse about and annotate each story, providing context and insight into Doyle and his Hound. We’ll also provide pdfs of the serial parts as they were originally published in The Strand Magazine. A subscription for all eight shows (available to watch live or as limited-time recordings) is $80. The cost for Rosenbach Members is $50. Register here: The Hound of the Baskervilles

 

You can find the full schedule of stories on our registration page. All episodes will stream live on the Rosenbach’s YouTube channel, then remain there for you to watch any time:

In other Sherlock happenings, I note that several news outlets have reported that the MS of The Sign of Four is due to be auctioned at Sotheby’s, perhaps generating bids exceeding $1million!  Not sure who is the current owner but I believe there exists a list of known MS holders but I can’t locate it at the moment. I know my bank balance won’t stretch to that point but interested to follow!
