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 ANDALUCIA - we began with Captain Arthur Morstan. We would end in the Captain's Cabin of The Andalucia. Quite how we got here, quite how this all ended, is still unsettled and unformed in my mind and my heart. We thought we had broken The Sign of Four. We thought we had silenced them in capturing Jonathan Small. We were wrong. I'm sorry.

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST - We made our way into the older parts of the building, to find what had been hidden long ago.. and what was now being hunted. The older parts of the building happened to be a Children's Hospital.. so yeah that was interesting. Sorry that we all had to sing in costume - but it was pretty important when it came down to chasing the Maberly safe. Mariana x

CABIN IN THE WOODS - My companions and I had come up against some obstacles for the next published case. The Vatican said no, the canary trainer was too complicated, I was at a loss... That was until an old friend in Stanley Hopkins came to us with a problem. The problem was that of Black Peter... and what exactly happened in his cabin late at night.

Black Peter - Part Two

THE SOUL OF THE MOUNTAIN - It was fairly typical of my companion to reach a conclusion so easily and swiftly while for us it remained a blur on the horizon. Sherlock and Mariana - who apparently speaks every tongue known to man - spoke with the Japanese intruder... but it was in a quiet chapel where I would finally catch up with Sherlock and the truth would come within my grasp.

Black Peter - Part Three

THE VANISHING HOST - To look at John Scott Eccles was to look upon your average looking accountant. Sorry accountants. Yet so there was so much more to this man than that first appearance. That first appearance on our doorstep, flustered, bewildered and hellbent on telling us a fascinating story of international subterfuge, a global criminal web and of course how he woke up in Wisteria Lodge all alone. Sounds like a problem for Sherlock and Co Ltd.
