Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume I Hints

Why was Turnbull killed?

  • 1 of 7: Travis was the Egyptian correspondant for The Times.
  • 2 of 7: So I'm sure that he wrote all of the articles about egyptology.
  • 3 of 7: He was also a nut (both a big fan and an insane person) about Egyptian history, as you saw when you went to talk to him.
  • 4 of 7: Look in The Times to see if he wrote anything controversial about egyptologists.
  • 5 of 7: There's an article at the top of page 2 of the August 17, 1888 issue.
  • 6 of 7: It happens to be about Turnbull.  Travis was highly critical of him.
  • 7 of 7: Select choice "C."
