    Scandal in Bohemia-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    Nov 10 2026
    Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    This story, found in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, is one of the best in my opinion. Is it possible for the machine like brain of this genius to be foiled? Has Holmes finally met his match? And surely it is not by a lowly woman who outwits him! In this story Holmes meets a woman whom forever after he refers to as "THE" woman so anything is possible. Listen and enjoy as he matches wits with 'THE' woman and comes out on the losing end. Let Dr. Watson, his faithful companion, explain how he deals with this err ....problem.

    Silver Blaze by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    A famous race horse disappears a week before an important race; the trainer is found dead on the desolate moor and the police are completely baffled. Naturally the owner and the police turn to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to help unravel the tangled threads of this mystery. Which he does in his usual imaginative and yet logical way. I think this is one of the best Sherlock stories by Doyle. We are given the clues and yet cannot see them until Sherlock slowly puts them together. Very enjoyable.

    Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Three years after the events that took place in The Lost World ( ), Professor Challenger urgently summons his fellow explorers (Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton, and reporter E.D. Malone) to a meeting. Oddly, he requires each to bring an oxygen cylinder with him. What he soon informs them is that from astronomical data and just-received telegraphs of strange accidents on the other side of the world, he has deduced that the Earth is starting to move through a region of space containing something poisonous to humankind. Shutting themselves tightly up in Challenger's house, they start to consider what may be done. But as their countrymen start to drop, will their oxygen last long enough to determine and implement a solution?
