The New “Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle,” a Sherlock Holmes Story



Here is my audio narration of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.” This is Doyle’s Dickensian Christmas time story, one of many in which Holmes at first believes no crime has occurred, and later introduces a note of Christian charity in his resolution of the case. It involves a Christmas goose and a mystery unlocked in the frosty air of snowy London, circa the 1880s. Musical enhancements add to the holiday effect of this favorite in the Sherlock Holmes canon.
