However Improbable

Crime is common: The Copper Beeches discussion


Listen Later

Welcome back to our discussion episodes! From The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" is one of the nastiest tales in the canon - complete with a skin-crawling villain named Jephro Rucastle. It also stars one of our favorite women - the intrepid Violet Hunter. Sarah and Marisa check in with Holmes and Watson after our break from the stories, the creepy horror of this tale, some other iconic stories with horrible things hidden in the attic, and more.

Content warning: Deeply creepy behavior, gaslighting, abuse and imprisonment.
