The scenes, especially in part 1 are ones we've seen interpreted in shows like BBC's Sherlock, but it's definitely enjoyable to read about as well as watch how it all started | But more about that later |

but as Watson settles in- he gets used to the detective's unusual ways | a dead man who has been poisoned, and the word RACHE- in blood on the wall |
