Holmes and The Abergavenny Murder

 


In The Adventure of the Priory School (1904), Dr. Huxtable request Holmes come to his school in Mackleton. Holmes shakes his head and says, “My colleague, Dr. Watson, could tell you that we are very busy at present. I am retained in this case of the Ferrers Documents, and the Abergavenny murder is coming up for trial.” In this instance, Abergavenny is not the location of the crime as some might imagine, but rather the name of the victim.


In Holmes of Baker Street, Holmes and Watson travel to Abergavenny Hall in the county of Kent to investigate a renowned lawyer who is found murdered in his bedroom.
