''My Dear Watson'' is written by the hand of Holmes, Lucy Holmes, whom the world came to know as Sherlock. Yes, the well-loved detective is a female cross-dresser but with good reason. The young Lucy, having watched her mother die tragically, rushed off to live with her brother, Mycroft, at university. In order to stay, undetected (no pun intended), she had to dress as a man. Being slight and gamine, this wasn’t difficult and, after a while, she preferred the lifestyle. Watson hasn’t seen through the disguise, continuing to live with Holmes between marriages as they combat the odds and solve crimes in with (or despite) the police.
In this particular mystery, our heroes encounter Constance Moriarty, related to Holmes’ arch nemesis, the Professor. Watson is dazzled by her beauty and so it begins: an adventure that will take Holmes and Watson across to France, lead to Holmes driving a new-fangled motor car (whilst Watson holds on for dear life) and will test their friendship to breaking point.
