The Adventures of the Red-Headed League, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of twelve stories featured in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, first published in 1892.
Rebekah and I read this story last night, the first time for her and the umpteenth time for me. We both love stories that keep us guessing until the end.
A red-haired pawn shop owner visits Holmes because he is upset at losing a part-time position copying The Encyclopedia Brittanica, a position he received because he of his flaming red hair.
Of course Holmes is suspicious from the start, collects his clue from the conversation, from which he pieces together the complicated plot and foils the wrong-doers. An interstingly-woven set-up, and one guaranteed to keep you turning the pages (or, rather, scrolling down).
