The fog comes up thick enough to hide a man at four feet. In a locked room in Belgravia, behind an iron door and a barred window, one of the finest white diamonds in Europe sits under glass where it has sat for eighty-eight years. At midnight the alarm rings. By the time the household reaches the corridor there is a cut bar, a rope hanging in the fog, a dead man in the courtyard below, and an empty case. Scotland Yard closes the matter in a single day. Sherlock Holmes spends twelve more proving that every fact in it is true and every conclusion drawn from it is wrong. 🔍 Fair play throughout. Every clue is placed in front of you before the answer. Told by Doctor Watson, from Baker Street to Hatton Garden, and out into the worst fog London had that winter. ☕ If you would like to keep these going, there is a tin at the link below. A coffee there pays for the writing weeks and the recording nights behind each one. 🎵 Every case is also on Spotify, read exactly the same way. Pour something warm. Turn the lights down. Mind the fog.
