The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
"If you cast your mind back to some of those narratives with which you have afflicted a long-suffering public, you will recognize how often the grotesque has deepened into the criminal."
From disappearing households and mysterious foreign nationals to international crime bosses and a little breaking and entering, "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge" has all the makings of a classic Holmes tale with none of the panache that sets some of them apart.
Sarah and Marisa discuss this bizarre little story, which comes from "His Last Bow." We appreciate your patience with some echo in our audio this week - we did some recording on the go!
Listen to our narration of the story:
From His Last Bow, "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge" by Arthur Conan Doyle, narrated by Rebekah Love.

Sarah mentions the David Suchet adaptations of Agatha Christie mysteries - though they aren’t all that related to this story (but they are fun!)
