One of Doyle’s favorite Holmes stories is this one, about an interpreter who gets caught up in a strange “country house” mystery, replete with plaster of paris victims and giggling villains. We also are introduced to Sherlock’s brother, Mycroft, and the hilarious Diogenes Club, the favorite of unsociable, “unclubbable,” men– such as Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. Mycroft later reappears in “The Bruce-Partington Plans,” also available right here on Audibly Speaking, with audio narration by (me) Rick Reiman. I hope you enjoy it.
