Sherlock Holmes Holiday Whodunnits
Sherlock Holiday Whodunnits is an advent calendar of all new Sherlock Holmes mysteries! The stories are designed to be read over the holiday season (i.e. from December 1st to December 26th). Each story is divided into two sections. The first day provides the plot of the mystery, and the second day provides the ending. You get to think like Sherlock Holmes, seeing if you can solve the case before reading the thrilling conclusion!
Mysteries
● The Case of the Poisoned Scrooge - Who murdered Aleister Devlin, the cruel and coldhearted money lender? It will be difficult to determine since all the guests at his dinner party wanted him dead.
● The Adventure of the Christmas Angel - Five houses in Tyburnia have been burgled by a person dressed up as an angel yet nothing of much value has been stolen. What is the story behind the Christmas Angel?
● The Christmas Ripper - A German family may have been murdered in their Spitalfields home. Could Jack the Ripper be responsible?
● The Monster of Stebbins Pond - What is the strange creature that leaves no tracks as it steals the fish from Stebbins pond? Could it be a lake monster? It is up to Holmes to find out the truth.
● The Challenge of Madame Maberley - Holmes is presented a challenge from the forger, Madame Maberley. Can the detective determine which of three letters penned by Henry VIII is real?
And many, many more traditional Sherlock Holmes adventures!
