Summary

Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself...

    "The Greek Interpreter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.

    🧶 Tatting artisan and vintage lace expert Tess Tuttle is preparing for the Heritage Crafts Fair when the fair's wealthy patron—a collector known for her sharp deals—is found dead in Tess's studio, strangled with an intricate piece of tatted lace. The police suspect a robbery gone wrong, but Tess recognizes the lace pattern as one from a stolen antique collar and notices the victim's collection contains forged Victorian pieces. With her studio sealed as a crime scene and the tatting community in turmoil, Tess must shuttle through the clues to clear her name. Assisted by her tatting circle and the handsome textile archivist documenting historic lace patterns, Tess uncovers a scheme involving lace forgery, stolen shuttle designs, and a black market for antique tatting patterns. From suspicious thread consistency that reveals modern materials to knot patterns that don't match historical techniques, every picot and ring tells a story. But when Tess discovers the victim was systematically acquiring—through fair means or foul—every piece of a rare 19th-century tatting collection, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile treasure more delicate than any lace. With the crafts fair approaching and the real culprit still weaving deception, Tess must untangle this knotted web before her own thread gets permanently cut.
