One of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories. Anyone would love it for its quirkiness alone.
A red-headed man by the name of Mr. Wilson has sought the advice of Sherlock Holmes in a strange case where Mr. Wilson was employed by Mr. Duncan Ross, manager of the Red-Headed League, to copy from an Encyclopedia for four pounds a week only because he had a vivid shade of red hair. After several weeks of nominal work, the league vanished without a trace and no one knew what the whole business was or who Mr. Duncan Ross was. Holmes takes up the case and unveils the cleverly conceived mystery of the whole business.
What hooks you more is the creativity of the story and its not so much the crime as the approach to solving the crime which makes it a great story in my opinion. The subtle clues that Holmes picks up as he goes about solving the case makes this quite an enjoyable read.
If you want some fun bed-time reading, pick this short story that comes with the collection of other Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or in the Complete collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories. If you would like to read this individual story, please check out the below link:
Happy Reading!!!
