Episode 503 – Solving the Problems of "The Red-Headed League"

“I see that there was nothing in it, after all.” [REDH] 



In this month’s “Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist” episode, we're getting aggressive: we're taking on a number of trifling things at once.


Greg Darak, BSI ("The Engineer's Thumb") wondered about various troubling items in "The Red-Headed League," a story popular not only for its plot but for its many problems. Dates, practical matters and more face Holmes and readers. These are many Trifles.
