Put on your deerstalker and be ready to use “your little gray cells.” Our investigation will begin with Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Study in Scarlet,” then examine suspects with Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, and finally read several stories by Agatha Christie. The investigation will close with Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” The two Doyle stories are really short novels, so get a head start on this part of the investigation.
