Boscombe Valley Mystery The...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Inspector Lestrade asks for Holmes's help after Charles McCarthy is murdered, and his son, James, is implicated. McCarthy, and another local landowner, John Turner, are both Australian expatriates, and Lestrade was originally engaged by Turner's daughter, Alice, who believes James is innocent. Holmes interviews James, and then inspects the scene of the murder, deducing a third man was present. Realising Holmes has solved the case, Turner confesses to the crime, revealing that McCarthy was blackmailing him due to Turner's criminal past. Holmes does not reveal the crime, but secures James's release because of the presence of a third person at the crime scene.

Exasperated - A Short Story...

J M Barrie, Frank Stockton, GK...

In this volume we discover that the obvious and the easy are not perhaps as obvious and easy as our authors first present them. 
 
They play with us.  There is certainty.  Then there is uncertainty.  There is a fact and then seemingly not. 
 
One thing we can rely on though is that each new twist and turn takes us on a journey of frustration and exasperation that is as enjoyable as it is bewildering. 
 
And, in the company of the sparkling wits of Chesterton, Aumonier, Barrie and a host of others who summon indignation and vexation as they rile and befuddle us then being exasperated was never quite so much fun.
