The Case of the Winthrop Legend
by Prismark102021-06-26
6/10

"This is very much a traditional type of Sherlock Holmes story until the last moment. Holmes and Watson go to Winthrop Manor to investigate a legend. This is after Harvey Winthrop came to see Holmes about his older brother John. He has found some silver coins in his possession. That signifies some harm will later come to John. Of course upon his death, the estate will past to Harvey who is also engaged to be married. John Winthrop is later found dead and Holmes thinks who the murderer is but has no proof. This is an atmospheric whodunnit, with a blind woman, lost love and greed...."
