Diplomacy was needed: Reigate Squire discussion

Holmes and Watson go on a much-deserved vacation—and naturally, crime follows them. “The Adventure of the Reigate Squire” introduces us to one of Watson’s old friends, and an unusual case of burglary, amateur theatrics, and how minutiae can solve murder. We discuss Holmes's health and Watson's desire to do something about it, as well as handwriting, holiday tropes, Essie Davis, and the meta experience of interactive detective fiction. Content warning: This episode contains some falsehoods Holmes intentionally directs at Watson. We have a conversation about Holmes's mental health.
