The Adventure of the Cardboard Box - Featured Author Book Review

by Arthur Conan Doyle
Genre: Mystery, Classic

     This short story depicts another adventure of Sherlock Holmes. A spinster receives a cardboard box containing a most grusome "present". Two human ears are packaged up within salt to preserve their freshness. Holmes' buddy Inspector Lestrade writes to ask for assistance. With no obvious clues Sherlock uses his powers of deduction to solve the case easily.

     This is a nice simple story for Sherlock fans to enjoy that takes an hour or less and can be easily fit into even the busiest of reading schedules.

I give it 3 star review graphic 3 stars.
