The final problem, is THE FINAL case. Or, it was supposed to be the final case before popular demand brought SherAnlock Holmes back to life.
It's funny that he doesn't die, and it's funny how there are more stories after that, especially since it says "it was the last that I was ever destined to see of him in this world".
There may be a final solution, however, there is no case in this story. There is chasing and suspense and thrill... but none of the deductions that made Holmes the person/detective he is... which i find strange.
Personal Opinion... these stories remind me a bit of comic books. Especially the ones in Japan. They come out every week in magazine like collections, and then they have the entertainment value, and building up aka the final problems and the struggles etc...
It feels as if Sherlock Holmes has lost track a little of what it originally was. Solving mysteries through deductions. Now, there is a bit of arch enemy, great amazing and dangerous plans that have no concrete details.. etc.
This last case feels a little bit like a let down. There isn't even a case for me to attempt to solve.
