About this listen

Uncover one of Sherlock Holmes’s most unsettling cases in The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot by Arthur Conan Doyle. Set against the stark, windswept coast of Cornwall, this 1910 mystery follows Holmes and Dr. Watson as they investigate a series of inexplicable deaths and sudden madness afflicting a single family. What begins as an eerie domestic tragedy leads to the discovery of a rare and terrifying poison—Devil’s foot root—capable of destroying the mind itself.

Blending psychological horror, colonial intrigue, and moral complexity, this classic Sherlock Holmes short story explores the fine line between justice and vengeance, making it an essential listen for fans of classic detective fiction and dark Victorian mysteries.
