Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is
not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an
introduction, the story-within-a-story is a classic example of a frame tale. It
is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes
his problem solving skills.
"The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" shares
elements with two Edgar Allan Poe tales: "The Gold Bug" and "The
Cask of Amontillado".
In 1927, Conan Doyle ranked the story at 11th place on his
top 12 Holmes stories list. The story did better in a 1959 chart produced by
the Baker Street Journal, ranking 6th out of 10.
