Fabulous tale from Sally's POV and a nail-biter of a case fic - and a nice resolution of their antagonism that isn't made of schmaltz (or worse, Sally grovelling before His Worshipfulness). Both Sherlock and Sally retain that edge between them, even if there is a grudging respect on each side now.

Loved the detail of Susy's passion for fashion, which gives her a legitimate reason for fangirling Sherlock (ZZTop was right, after all!) even past hormonal explanations.

And sadly, there are too many Richards out there - his death is tragic only because it traumatises Susy, because those types of obsessive misogynists cannot die fast enough for my tastes.

Splendid offering!
