The Adventure of the Empty House

"The Adventure of the Empty House" is a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his detective character Sherlock Holmes. It is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem".

The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes which only served to whet readers' hunger.

The resurrection of Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Empty House" has led some scholars to compare it with the story of Easter, others to identify Holmes as a solar myth.
