A Scandal in Bohemia – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
* This book is available at LoDingo.com *Set in 1888, this story was the first of Arthur Conan Doyle's 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories to be published in The Strand Magazine, and the first Sherlock Holmes story illustrated by Sidney Paget.
Holmes is visited by a masked gentleman introducing himself as Count Von Kramm, an agent for a wealthy client. Holmes however, is quick to deduce that he is in fact Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and the hereditary King of Bohemia. The King admits this, tearing off his mask.
It transpires that the King is engaged to a young Scandinavian princess, but the King's potential in-laws-to-be would have a very low opinion of him if any evidence of his former liaison with an opera singer named Irene Adler was ever revealed. Unfortunately, that is what the lady herself is threatening to do. The King’s agents have tried to buy the evidence and broken into Miss Adler’s house to find it but all to no avail.
Holmes constructs an elaborate plan to recover the evidence but it also fails.
So how is this problem resolved? You’ll just have to listen to the audio book to find out!
