"The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle"

From the Series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, David Burke as Dr Watson (13 episodes)
First published in "The Strand Magazine" Jan 1892 (BLUE)

Synopsis:
The fabulous Blue Carbuncle is stolen. Although the police have a suspect in custody its Holmes who tracks it down with the help of a dead goose and a battered felt hat.

Review:
Holmes deduction at it best. His opening analysis of the owner of the felt hat is superb. Through clue after clue he solves the case although I was disappointed in his neglect of the falsely accused suspect until the very end.



A very seedy hard felt hat


The roughs had fled at the appearance of peterson


See what my wife found in its crop


He bowed solemnly to both of us


Just read it out to me


You are the very man


“Have mercy” he shrieked


He burst into convulsive sobbing
