"The Man with the Twisted Lip" is the sixth story in the [b:The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|3590|The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes|Arthur Conan Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1164045516s/3590.jpg|1222101] story collection, the third publication in the Sherlock Holmes series (after the first two novels, so the first story collection).
Holmes and Watson investigate the disappearance of a man who's wife is sure she saw him in the window above an opium den, but when the police arrived to investigate they found only a filthy beggar, and her husbands jacket weighed down with coins at the bottom of the Thames.
This particular story I would describe as 'twisty', which made it particularly riveting.

this one was a genuinely good detective/crime story. it had me gripped right until the end, which is always nice. would definitely recommend it.

Well that was unexpected! I would have never guessed that plot twist. I do wish I could know how Sherlock Holmes was able to solve the mystery, though.
