Empty House - 4/5 - poor Watson
Norwood Builder - 4/5 - venticive!
Dancing Men - 4/5 - Better version of the Valley of Fear
Solitary Bicyclist - 5/5 - It’s never good to start a marriage with a kidnapping
Priory School - 5/5 - I do so enjoy the mysteries that feature bicycles
Black Peter - 4/5 - I can’t get over the boat’s name is the Sea Unicorn
Charles Augustus Milverton - 5/5 - Watson actually picked up a chair to use as a weapon
Six Napoleons - 5/5 - a smashing good time
Three students - 5/5 - created school based anxiety in me
The Golden Pince-Nez - 3/5 - a fine mystery
Missing Three-Quarter - 3/5 - eh
Abbey Grange - 4/5 - Love it when a shitty man dies
Second Stain - 4/5 - people just need to talk to their spouses
*2022*
Empty House - 5/5 - This is just such a good story
Norwood Builder - 5/5 - You know that guy who can’t take a rejection
Dancing Men - 4/5 - Secret codes
Solitary Bicyclist - 5/5 - One of my faves!
Priory School - 5/5 - Green Eyed monster strikes again
Black Peter - 3.5/5 - Not the strongest mystery
Charles Augustus Milverton - 5/5 - I love her!
Six Napoleons - 5/5 - Maybe one of my favorite stories
Three students - 4/5 - Not the most intriguing
The Golden Pince-Nez - 4/5 - Very dramatic, but not the best mystery
Missing Three-Quarter - 3/5 - I think sports romance made this worse for me
Abbey Grange - 4/5 - Love it when a shitty man dies
Second Stain - 5/5 - A matter of politics
**2020**

Charles Augustus Milverton - 5/5 Excellent drama and a lady with a motive! (another favorite)
