Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back
to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle
with Professor Moriarty. This 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' appetites.
Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House"
sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. The story takes place
in 1894, three years after "The Final Problem."
