About this listen

The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a gripping Sherlock Holmes mystery first published in 1926. Told uniquely from Holmes’s own perspective, this case explores themes of loyalty, secrecy, and the lingering effects of war.

When a worried friend seeks Holmes’s help in finding a mysteriously vanished man who returned from the Boer War “blanched” and reclusive, the detective uncovers a tale of hidden suffering, family tension, and a shocking revelation.

With Doyle’s trademark wit and deductive brilliance, this lesser-known gem showcases a more introspective Holmes and delivers a powerful exploration of human courage and empathy beneath the veneer of mystery.
