Sherlock Holmes and the Clapham Witch

The Final Tales of Sherlock Holmes #9

by John A. Little

In this excellent short story, sad old men are throwing themselves under trains for a variety of reasons and Holmes must place himself in harm’s way to discover the truth of a rather bewildering case. Bordering on the supernatural, this Sherlockian short was first published in 2016 in the third collection of the Final Tales of Sherlock Holmes.

Fairly decent short story. The interaction between Holmes and Watson was definitely the highlight as their banter was enjoyable.
