Heartfelt thank-yous to the following people:
[personal profile] basingstoke, without whose support and thoughtful contributions this story would be an unfinished blob of text;
[personal profile] beatrice_otter, who found a major characterization problem and helped me think of ways to fix it;
[personal profile] ngaio, for the thorough Britpick & beta, including a lot of class information that informs John's character;
and [personal profile] mandragora, who went above and beyond the call of duty and generously gave of her limited time to school me on British legal and police procedures. In the process, she corrected some severe errors at the outline stage, and saved me much heartache and grief.

Without their help, this story would have died on the vine.

I'm gonna wait till the 15th to read this -- hard to wait for one of yours! But it works better for me that way.

Fabulous! I'm glad you were able to work out the issues with this story because it's quite gripping. I can easily imagine how entranced Sherlock would be with a crime like this.

Thank God you're posting new installments every day, because I'm hooked and I don't think I'd be able to stand an indefinite wait!

This is really fascinating. I love the examination of John and Sherlock's interaction (and how John is prepared for everything!) and the way you've drawn in the other characters like Lestrade and Anderson. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
