Goalhanger

My name is Dr. John Watson, once of the British Army Northumberland Fusilier Regiment, now a true crime podcaster based in Central London. I don't have much experience in criminology, so this is mostly a record of how I met possibly the most brilliant and bizarre person I have ever (and will ever) know. Join me as I document the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock & Co.

THE STAPLETONS OF MERRIPIT HOUSE - I was miserable and, despite the company, I felt totally alone. The absence of Sherlock Holmes and a recent illness to Mariana was leaving me feeling very exposed. That isolation and the darkness of the Moors was driving me crazy. Literally.

The Mazarin Stone - Part Three

THE SOURCE OF THE UNIVERSE - why exactly I bother attempting to tamper down the relentless curiosity of my companion is beyond me. When Sherlock gets a whiff of what he wants, there's generally no stopping him. Not even a close friend's wedding. This appetite for solving problems took us to the collection room of the best man himself; Greg Cantlemere.

The Mazarin Stone - Part Two

STALK THE STALK - it was earth-shattering. I can't describe it. The feeling of being at the centre of that swirling, chaotic tragedy. Sherlock was doing well to hide his pain and frustration. I was doing better than usual in keeping things together, if I do say so myself. It was time to figure out who Abe Slaney was and how to stop him.
