Solving the Problems of the Red-Headed League

About this episode

"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.
