		Maria Gibson was found lying in a pool of blood on Thor Bridge with a bullet through the head and note from the governess, agreeing to a meeting at that location, in her hand.

	Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sherlock Holmes describes himself as a "consulting detective", an expert who is brought into cases that have proven too difficult for other (typically official) investigators; we are told that he is on many an occasion able to solve a problem without leaving his home.
		Naturally, this aspect is minimized in the stories themselves, which tend to focus on the more interesting cases that require him to do actual legwork.
		Conan Doyle intended "The Final Problem", the story in which this occurred, to be the last that he wrote about Holmes.

	Thor Bridge
		The chip is reminscent of one of the numerous legends told of the Norse god of the sky, Thor, for whom the bridge was named.
		Thor hated giants anyway, but this was simply too much; he brandished his mighty hammer, "Mjollnir," and challenged Hrungnir to a duel.
		It seems to me that Miss Dunbar's note, "I will be at Thor Bridge at nine o'clock" can only be a response to a request that she be at that place, at that hour.

		Stuck with writer's block that would not allow him to write about his own worlds, and thus work on his two major series of books, Farmer decided to write as if he were Kilgore Trout, a character in many of Kurt Vonnegut's novels.
		Once permission was granted the ideas came pouring out and Farmer had no problem writing, as long as he wasn't writing as himself.
		In the begining of The Problem of Thor Bridge, Watson briefly mentions some details of three cases which Sherlock was not able to solve.

		Two telling statements by Miss Dunbar and a reconstruction of the crime demonstrate that she murdered the first wife of J. Neil Gibson and then arranged the evi-dence in such a way that Holmes would de-duce the fake suicide just as she had planned.
		On the other hand, Dianne Maginn, in "Suicide Disguised as Murder: A Mun-chausen-Related Event at Thor Bridge" (BSJ, 39, No. 1, March 1989), believes that Maria Gibson did kill herself but that her suicide was a result of Munchausen’s Syndrome.
		In "The Syndromic Problem of ‘Thor Bridge’" (SHJ, 14, No. 1, Spring 1979), Dana Martin Batory analyzes what Samuel Rosenberg de-fines as the "Conan Doyle Syndrome"; name-ly, whenever the printed word, in any form, is accompanied by allusions to forbidden sexual behavior and subsequent severe punishment.
