The Adventure of the Cardboard Box

“'There were three sisters altogether. The old one was just a good woman, the second was a devil, and the third was an angel.”

Three sisters, some ears in a box, and Paganini all play a part in “The Adventure of the Cardboard Box,” a gruesome story that poses many questions about justice, guilt… and what’s in the box.

Listen to our narration of the story:

From The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" by Arthur Conan Doyle, narrated by Jenna Hanchey
