I couldn’t help thinking that our supposed Sherlock and Watson sounded just kind Alex Twaddle from Boyfriend Material and Husband Material, so it was really hard to take them seriously. In fact, I greatly suspect that neither of them is Sherlock, and in fact, neither is even a Watson. The two of them are simply the blind leading the blind. As far as the conclusion of the mystery, it made no sense. Suddenly out of nowhere Anthony figured out how to actually investigate, then got someone to confirm his instantaneous theory in writing? It just made no sense.
