We are proud to present the first of our Inquisitor, Denny Dobry’s, killer quizzes – each quiz will be on the featured story of the month.  This month is The Three Garridebs.

  1. How do we know that Killer Evans was a successful gambler?
  1. To a reader unfamiliar with the American west, he may think that a term used in the story indicates that Home Depot is having a sale on wood.   What is the term?
  1. A surname used in this story should remind you of a name used in The Greek Interpreter.
  1. The surname of a prominent Sherlockian illustrator appears in this Adventure. Name him and in the context that it appears.
  1. What publication did Holmes apparently value in his study of criminology?
  1. When did Holmes meet Dr. Lysander Starr?
  1. What part of John Garrideb’s (Killer Evans) anatomy call to mind a police action?
  1. These were like Sherlock Holmes?
  1. The lawyer’s cut of clothing was what?
  1. Who lived at 136 Little Ryder Street, W in December of 1896?

Good luck! We’ll have the answers posted before April is over.
