Our Third Meeting

The third meeting of the Sherlock Holmes Society of the Cape Fear met on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at 7:00 pm in the Beach PC Training Center (5905 Carolina Beach Road, Suite 7).  All total, 8 members were present (Tom, Pat, Michelle, Ken, Henry, Rick, Barbara, and Chuck).

As recording secretary for the club, I must say that I am very pleased at how the meetings are progressing! We began the meeting discussing the solution to the puzzle entitled "The Hanged Man", in which is was decided that the mystery was indeed a "cold case"... the man who committed suicide did so by standing on a block of ice.  As the ice melted, so did his life!

After the mystery, it was Michelle's turn to lead us in a discussion of "Charles Augustus Milverton", a classic Conon Doyle story about a blackmailer who Sherlock referred to as "one of the most dangerous men in London." Her commentary on the story was entertaining and enlightening... well done, Michelle!

After discussing the story for the evening, Ken suggested that we all bring books and memorabilia to the June meeting. He also agreed to lead the discussion on the next story (I will announce the title of the story in an email).

It was agreed by all that the next meeting will be Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 7:00 pm. We adjourned at around 8:30 pm, and I feel that a good time was had by all!
