We don’t do Twitter no more. Synopsis Whilst tidying his papers in the Baker Street flat, Sherlock Holmes unearths some relics of one of his earliest cases. His client, an old university associate called Reginald Musgrave, hires the nascent detective to investigate the recent disappearances of Hurlstone’s butler and one of the housemaids. It is quite clear, however, that this is no elopement, and central to the mystery is the old family catechism known as the Musgrave Ritual… Next time on Doings of Doyle... We hope to be joined by journalist and author Andrew Finkel to discuss his novel The Adventure of the Second Wife… Support the podcast Please help us reach new listeners by leaving a rating or view on the podcast platform of your choice.
