Close on the heels of the brilliant “Adventure of the Abbey Grange” was one of Conan Doyle’s masterworks, his short story, “The Adventure of the Norwood Builder.” Any writer who wishes to toss into the ring a Sherlock Holmes pastiche of his own, will likely think twice before doing so upon reading this story, which bids fair to be close to the pinnacle of Doyle’s work. While I recorded it some years ago during the early days of my acquaintance with the art of podcasting, I have refined that art to a degree. Be however much that may be, this second version pushes the limits of that art, at least to farthest horizon of which I am today capable. I hope that it will be found by everyone to be enjoyable. –Rick Reiman, September 26, 2025.
