Sherlock & Co.The Creeping Man - Part Two LIVE AT THE APOLLO - always thought I'd go to The Hammersmith Apollo one day. Didn't think it would be in this capacity.

Sherlock & Co.The Creeping Man - Part OneTHE WHITE RAT KILLER - not really something that I expected to consume my whole week.

Sherlock & Co.The Cardboard Box - Part TwoTHE BLOODY BARGE - will be forever seared into my memory. A haunting sight to say the least, discovered en route to tracking down Jim Browner... which unfortunately we took the scenic route for.

Sherlock & Co.The Golden Pince-Nez - Part ThreeTHE KILLER IS IN THE HOUSE - that was the conclusion of my companion as we reached the closing stages of our investigation. All that was left was for the brilliant Detective (and a little bit of me) to put the clues together and locate the murderer of Willoughby Smith. Before 5am. Because otherwise we'd get arrested.
