About this title

Synopsis

"The Norwood Builder" is a story from "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle. In this intriguing tale, Sherlock Holmes is visited by John Hector McFarlane, a young solicitor accused of murdering Jonas Oldacre, a wealthy builder from Norwood. McFarlane's distress is palpable as he recounts how Oldacre had unexpectedly made him the beneficiary of his will. The sudden turn of events and the discovery of Oldacre’s charred remains in a fire at his house point to McFarlane as the prime suspect.

Holmes takes on the case, driven by his instinctive belief in McFarlane’s innocence. Using his unparalleled deductive skills, Holmes delves into Oldacre’s past and scrutinizes the evidence. He discovers several inconsistencies, particularly in how the evidence seems almost too conveniently damning.
