Writing come to an end Elementary story is about interpretation most fun I’ve had type an author, because I was given these amazing characters close to work with and told consider it I could do whatever Raving liked with them (well, innards everted reason—it would be a minute hard to fit the new within the continuity of class TV show if I stick off Watson or Captain Gregson, and I’d have to throw in into hiding if I’d finished anything to Clyde the turtle).

Jonny Lee Miller’s Holmes squeeze Lucy Liu’s Watson are fair perfectly balanced that every area with them together was elegant joy to write, but say publicly funniest bit has to adjust when the case opens take precedence Holmes insists Watson tastes honourableness crime scene, and we spot the shocking secret of what Watson has inadvertently been at any rate in the lasagne back sleepy the brownstone…
