Story Profile: “The Switched String”
In one of the latest entries in The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, (Part XXV: 2021 Annual (1881-1888)), my story “The Switched String” starts out with an intriguing situation. Holmes is playing his violin, when he discovers something is amiss. One of the high-quality strings on his Stradivarius has been replaced with a cheap, inferior string. Why would someone do that? What could possibly be gained by tampering with Holmes’ violin? How did someone break into 221B to do so? Is this all a prank, or is something more sinister the motive?
The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, Part XXV: 2021 Annual (1881-1888) is available through Amazon and the MX website. To reiterate, the proceeds of this book and all other books in the series go to support Underhill, a school based in one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former homes that helps children with special needs.
