Dancing Men - and Women! I enjoy a good mystery - and when it
involves a code to decipher - it just doubles the fun with two
puzzles to solve in one story! In the graphic novel mystery
Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Dancing Men, master
detective Sherlock Holmes receives a picture of stick figures
with their arms and legs positioned in different ways so it
looks like they are dancing. The stick figures are appearing
around the home of Mr. Cubitt who asks Sherlock Holmes if he can
determine what the pictures mean. Holmes examines different
samples of the drawings and believes they are a code used to
communicate messages in secret. When Holmes travels to Mr.
Cubitt's home to inform him of what he has learned, Holmes
encounters another mystery: Mr. Cubitt has been murdered!
Immediately, Holmes begins questioning the servants and looking
for other clues that will reveal the identity of the murderer.
This story, and the others in the new graphic novel series On
the Case with Holmes and Watson, is narrated
