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.

-
The Golden Pince-Nez - Part One
THE LAMENTABLE DEATH OF YOUNG WILLOUGHBY SMITH - it was a wild tempestuous night towards the end of November. Pissing it down non-stop and thunder banging around like no-one's business. I had plans to spend a couple of…

-
The Red-Headed League - Part One
THE BAD ACTOR AND THE RED FLAGS didn't really dawn on me for sometime... To be honest with you I didn't really think I'd be uploading this adventure when my companion and I first came across it. It seemed boring... But…
-
The Red-Headed League - Part Two
THE BILLIONAIRESS AT THE OPERA - that was our next stop after Pinewood Studios, as The Adventure of the Red-Headed League continued to warp my understanding of just about everything. Not so much Sherlock's…

-
The Dancing Men - 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…
-
The Dancing Men - Part Three
AMERICAN LONEWOLF IN LONDON - we had hastily constructed a code for Abe Slaney, as if we were Elsie. We were going to get him to return to The Norfolk and 'rescue' his beloved. Little did he know, we were waiting.…
