[Home]Inspector Morse/Talk

It should be noted that Arthur Conan Doyle did not kill Sherlock Holmes in the last book. The last story chronologically is "His Last Bow", which plays in 1914. In that story he is retired and does one more service for England. The last story written is "The retired colourman", which plays much earlier.

However, Sherlock Holmes did die (at least Dr. Watson deducted so) in "The final problem", by falling down the [Reichenbach Falls]? in a death struggle with his arch-enemy, [Professor Moriarty]?. The next story (written about three years later) shows that he did not fall down, but that it only was set up by Holmes.

We can call this die-and-revive as the first case of the Bobby-Ewing-Effect? :-)

Anyway, not knowing about Inspector Morse, I feel not qualified enough to edit this article. Can anybody else do that? RedMabuse
