The Blue Carbuncle

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Originally published in 1892, The Blue Carbuncle is the only Sherlock Holmes story to take place at Christmastime.

After a strange encounter involving a battered hat, a Christmas goose, and a missing jewel, Holmes and Watson follow a trail that leads through snow-dusted London streets and into a case that is as much about mercy as it is deduction.

This episode is a newly edited re-release, lovingly restored for the Christmas season — a thoughtful, atmospheric mystery that pairs perfectly with quiet winter evenings.
