Another good one . The stories are progressively increasing in intrigue . And am coming to love my time spend with Sherlock and co.
Here a man is sought out to do some trivial work for a company just because his hair is the exact shade of red and is perplexed when one fine day his workplace is shut down and all traces of the firm he works for disappears .

Another Sherlock Holmes story; this one starts out seeming like one thing is the mystery when in fact it is something completely different. Not as many clues in this one; hard to imagine anyone but Sherlock Holmes could have figured it out.
I had a lot of fun reading this short Sherlock Holmes mystery. I found the story quirky and original, and thoroughly amused myself reading it. Definitely one I can recommend!

Funny plot and as Sherlock says, "the more bizarre a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify."
“There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.”

The Red-Headed League, is the second story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I didn’t enjoy this story as much. The telling V.S showing of everything was a bit annoying, but I liked the general theme of the story.
“My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so.”

Another very short Sherlock Holmes mystery, tacked on to the end of the audio book recording of The Sign of Four. This one I perhaps liked even more than The Sign of Four, because it was so silly and delightful. It reminded me a lot of the types of mysteries that I was obsessed with as a child (for about 3 years of my youth I would read nothing but mysteries).
