The Adventure of the ‘Western Star': A Short Story

The Adventure of “The Western Star”: 4*

I feel like this story felt the most whole out of all the short stories I've read so far. It felt like it was building the entire time and not just a random short story that was more just an idea, but was later published. I could have done with less stereotyping of “Chinamen,” but it was published in 1923...

I love how this story sets up Captain Hastings being in the right for once, just to later disprove him, making him the stupid one once more. What a brilliant literary tool he is.
