Chapter 17 is now on AO3

The Murder of Sir Emory J. Amat  by ChrisCalledMeSweetie

A Sherlock Holmes mystery, as recounted by Dr. John H. Watson.

Can you follow the clues to deduce whodunnit?

Chapter 17: Frank Kent

“A deduction of mine, that was all,” said Holmes mildly. “I am famous for my deductions.”

“Are you really?” asked Anderson, studying him with a befuddled expression. 

Superintendent Baynes went into a roar of laughter. 

“Many’s the time I’ve heard Inspector Lestrade say that. Mr. Holmes and his deductions! Too fanciful for me, he’d say, but always something in them.” 

Nodding his head in a sage manner, Holmes walked out into the street. 

He and I lunched together at an hotel. I know now that the whole thing lay clearly unravelled before him. He had got the last thread he needed to lead him to the truth. 

But at the time I had no suspicion of the fact. I overestimated his general self-confidence, and I took it for granted that the things which puzzled me must be equally puzzling to him.

one thing which i find particularly crazy about the unicorn and the wasp + mummy on the orient express is the fact that agatha christie was still alive when doctor who was created. the show premiered in 1963 and she died in 1976, meaning that there was a thirteen year period in which she could’ve hypothetically watched it, or at least heard of it somehow. dw is literally so old that they can do historical episodes about famous figures who coexisted alongside it. truly bonkers

After studying three of the greats — Holmes, Poirot, Columbo — I have determined that in order to be a popular fictional detective you MUST be autistic you MUST be a nosy bitch and you MUST have a boybestfriend to bounce your theories off of.

‘But op, what about Columbo? Columbo doesn’t have a boybestfriend!’ You fools. His boybestfriend is the murderer.

So Knives Out takes place in the fall in New England and Glass Onion is in the summer in Greece.

Petition for Knives Out 3 to take place in a mountain ski resort. If only to see Benoit Blanc in a funky snowsuit.

Benedict, now you have to solve a small village murder mystery.
