Sherlock Holmes and the Telephone Murder Mystery

A remote country estate. A gathering of strangers. A shocking murder.

Watson is invited to visit an old rural home, along with a variety of other guests, connected by their interest in art and literature. As he is introduced to the guests one by one, Watson soon learns there is more about these men that meets the eye.

The tension heightens when one of the guests is found dead in one of the rooms of the cavernous house. With no sign of intrusion, accusations and anger flare up among the strangers. Watson calls in Holmes to get to the bottom of this most mysterious murder.
