The Problem of Thor Bridge – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
* This book is available at LoDingo.com *
A love triangle culminates in the shooting death of the wife and murder charges against the household's beautiful governess. The arrogant, combative husband seeks the services of Sherlock Holmes to clear the young lady in question. The case appears cut and dried, 'til a stroke of insight leads the detective to the solution to the perplexing evidence.
Neil Gibson, the Gold King and former Senator for "some Western state", approaches Holmes to investigate the murder of his wife Maria in order to clear his children's governess, Grace Dunbar, of the crime. Holmes compels Gibson to admit his attraction to Dunbar and his dislike of his wife.
Maria Gibson was found lying in a pool of blood on Thor Bridge with a bullet through the head and note from the governess, agreeing to a meeting at that location, in her hand. A recently discharged pistol with one shot fired is found in Miss Dunbar's wardrobe. Holmes agrees to look at the situation in spite of the damning evidence.
From the outset, Holmes observes some rather odd things about the case. How could Miss Dunbar so coolly and rationally have planned and carried out the murder and then carelessly tossed the murder weapon into her wardrobe? What was the strange chip on the underside of the bridge's stone balustrade? Why was Mrs. Gibson clutching the note from Miss Dunbar when she died? If the murder weapon was one of a matched pair of pistols, why couldn't the other one be found in Mr. Gibson's collection?
