Audio play A Scandal in Bohemia (Sherlock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle The story of A Scandal in Bohemia begins with a letter that an unknown person sends to Sherlock, without specifying the date of sending or the place of origin. It can be seen from the pink paper that the writer of the letter had a lot of wealth and probably came from a foreign land. Well, Sherlock's guesses are right. This time, the Crown Prince of Bohemia is going to hire Sherlock as a private detective to prevent an inevitable disaster. The crown prince, who is preparing for his wedding ceremony with the daughter of the Scandinavian king, had a romantic relationship with a young lady named Irene Adler a long time ago. Apart from exchanging love letters with Irene, the crown prince took a picture with her that if it falls into the hands of his future wife, his married life will be destroyed. Of course, it goes without saying that Irene threatened the crown prince to send this photo to the bride's family on the day of the wedding ceremony. It shouldn't be difficult for Sherlock, who has solved the toughest crime mysteries and brought the most cunning killers into the hands of the law, to get a picture of Irene back. However, it seems that this young woman is smarter than Sherlock and the others expect and will not be easily defeated by the analytical mind of Sherlock Holmes. Regardless of the crown prince's problem and his concern to get the photo, we must remember that this short story is in some ways fundamentally different from other works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. If you are used to thinking of Sherlock as just a meticulous detective who only cares about his work and will never be attracted to the character of people, it is necessary to say that after reading the story of the scandal in the country of Bohemia, your view about his emotions will be completely changed. It seems that Irene Adler will not leave the mind and memories of Sherlock Holmes anytime soon, even after the events related to the Crown Prince.
