Episode description

Holmes is hired by a young clerk to investigate a suspiciously good job offer - and ends up in a case of identity theft and robbery. "The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk" is an odd little story with a dramatic twist in the middle that stands it apart from other similar tales.

We discuss Dr. Watson, M.D., how much we long for a better robbery story than this one, and Watson's enduring crushes on men who look like rugby players in this week's discussion.

Content warning (and SPOILER ALERT!): This story contains a fairy graphic depiction of a suicide attempt by hanging. We read the passage out loud and discuss it.
