This was supposed to be the end of Holmes. Doyle had grown sick of the detective. He wanted to get back to his medieval novels and other projects and not put energy into Holmes any more. But a prolonged hue and cry from the reading public, and some financial need of Doyle's, brought back Holmes some 11 years later. But the last set of stories are very uneven compared with the original set of stories.
