⭐ SHOW NOTES

SHERLOCK HOLMES: DR. WATSON’S MEMOIRS #5: THE WESTMINSTER TERROR

In this newest entry from our original pastiche series, Dr. Watson’s Memoirs, we return to the fog‑shrouded streets of London in the autumn of 1887—just months after the events of the Wild West Show affair. Holmes and Watson are summoned under royal seal to investigate a series of disturbing incidents inside the walls of Marlborough House, where whispers of an apparition have thrown the royal household into panic.

What begins as a discreet inquiry soon reveals a deeper and more dangerous plot—one that demands Holmes’s sharpest reasoning and Watson’s steady courage. As the corridors of power close around them, the two friends must navigate secrecy, fear, and a threat that reaches far beyond the palace gates.

This is an original Sherlock Holmes adventure, written exclusively for the 1001 Stories Network and presented in the reflective, intimate voice of Dr. John H. Watson. It stands proudly alongside our earlier entries in the Dr. Watson’s Memoirs series, including:

Each story is crafted to feel like a long‑lost case file—sealed for decades, then finally released for the public to hear.
