#60, "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box"

"Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Cardboard Box"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
An excellent little mystery by the greatest mystery author in our language. It has all the hallmarks of a Sherlock Holmes story: innocuous beginning, mysterious puzzle with obtuse clues, a smug and ever-changing Holmes, a desperate crime and a nicely wrapped ending. Great read for anyone who enjoys mystery, short stories, Sherlock Holmes, or ear-related crime.
