The Tea Leaf

The Tea Leaf is by Robert Eustace and Edgar Jepsen. The classic short story that was the forerunner of the locked room mystery. Two former friends, who now hate each other, meet in a Turkish bath. One exits and goes to the shampoo room and the other is found dead. No weapon is found, the living man is charged with murder and it takes the genius of the victim's daughter to prove him innocent. 

Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content).
