I'm afraid that the test of time has not been overly kind to the canon Sherlock lore. Now that the work of Doyle is in Public Domain, many more new stories keep popping up It's great that we got Hound of the Baskervilles right before Return of Sherlock Holmes, because, after that, the knighted author would prove to be on autopilot. Maybe the detective ought to have stayed dead. It was a chore sometimes, to read through these short stories that have outstayed their welcome.

The Adventure of the Crooked Man was also the fifth story adapted by Granada TV for British television and the episode would be broadcast on the 22nd May 1984, with Jeremy Brett, of course, starring as Sherlock Holmes. The fact that there is no crime in The Adventure of the Crooked Man doesn’t detract from the story, for the case shows how Holmes observes whilst the police force simply sees. Part of the narrative deals, eventually, with the Indian Mutiny, a topic already touched upon by Conan Doyle in The Sign of Four. The story therefore develops from a supposedly impossible crime into a narrative of why events have unfolded as they did.

The police though, seem disinterested in the missing key or the strange animal footprints inside the room, factors which Holmes sees as vital.

At the outset the case present to Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Crooked Man seems a straightforward one, with Nancy Barclay killing her husband in a locked room following a heated argument.
