Show notes

"him who has the Holland Grove beat" [STUD] Harry Murcher. There's a name from the Sherlock Holmes stories that could be the answer to a particularly dastardly quiz. In this episode, we'll get to meet Harry, courtesy of Sonia Fetherston, BSI ("The Solitary Cyclist"), whose article "I Met Harry Murcher: Getting Acquainted with Holland Grove's Elusive P.C." appeared in the Spring 2011 issue of The Baker Street Journal and won the Morley-Montgomery Award that year. It's just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected]. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift. Our Merch Store is open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else's, if you'd like to make it a gift). Start shopping today. "Trifling Trifles" is back — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode. This time, "Watson's Cases" show us the good doctor's influence.
