Meanwhile, Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock’s older brother is also on the case from another angle and keen for his brother’s assistance as he beards an arrogant rising parliamentarian in his club. Watson listens as childhood revelations tumble out… That’s until she’s spooked by a visitor to her theatre, one she assumes to be her supposed dead, formerly abusive mother Sara-Jean Dumont. One that has ended up on Baker Street itself.Īnother thread is that of Mrs Genevieve Watson, née Dumont ( Lucy Briggs-Owen), now happily married to John and preparing to give her Cordelia in King Lear on the West End stage. It’s the story of a killer who keeps moving across the United States and the dogged detective on his trail. While the lady initiates her plans, Holmes and Watson entertain an American visitor with a remarkable tale to tell. One who is not prone to theatrics, but clearly always gets what she wants. Played by Juliet Aubrey, she’s a practical and calm, if malign, presence. Unlike the previous tale, which bore her name but only showed us evidence of her influence, we meet the Seamstress in the opening scene. Surprisingly, despite its title, it has very little to do with New York and instead, rather more to do with the new power behind London’s criminal underclass The Seamstress of Peckham Rye.
The latest outing for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, The Fiends of New York City, takes place in the stifling summer of 1901.
