Where to Find The Case of the Shrew in the Fog in RDR2
Hosea’s crime novel camp item request is located on the table in the Hagen Orchards house, which is located all the way toward the southeastern part of the map, in Bayou Nwa, north of Saint Denis.


When you enter the house, the table is near the door, so when you open it, you’ll spot it with no problem.

Before you enter, make sure to prepare because there’s a guard in the house who shoots you on sight. Silence him if you wish or if you don’t want anything that costs you honor, just hogtie him. Then you can find The Case of the Shrew in the Fog, which is another book in the Aldous Filson series.
Funny thing is, these mystery stories and the character of Aldous Filson are Rockstar’s playful take on the kind of detective fiction Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made famous through his Sherlock Holmes stories in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
How to Complete Hosea’s Crime Novel Request
So, it’s time to head back and give Hosea his next piece of entertainment. Find and interact with him, then select “Give Request.” It’s interesting because when Arthur gives Hosea the book, he mentions Hosea might like this author. To which Hosea replies yes and that he hasn’t read this book yet.
He doesn’t give you anything in return but a thank you and the game boosts your honor a little bit.
