Welcome to Storytime Classics! In this video, we present The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb, the ninth story from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in 1892. This story stands out from many of Holmes' other adventures because it is one of the few cases where the detective investigates a violent crime after it has already occurred. It features a young hydraulic engineer, Mr. Victor Hatherley, who seeks out Dr. Watson's medical help after a terrifying encounter that cost him his thumb. As Sherlock Holmes investigates the bizarre case, he uncovers a sinister criminal operation involving counterfeit money and a brutal attack.
Although this is Part 9 of our audiobook series, viewers can watch The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb as a standalone story. If you're interested, you can also check out the previous stories on our channel, such as The Adventure of the Speckled Band and The Man with the Twisted Lip.
📚 About The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb:

Hatherley recounts how he was hired to repair a hydraulic press, only to find himself in the midst of a nefarious scheme that nearly cost him his life. Sherlock Holmes is intrigued by the case, particularly because it centers on a hidden criminal enterprise involving a counterfeiting operation. As Holmes pieces together the engineer’s harrowing experience, he must work quickly to bring the criminals to justice.
