the illustrious client

[sarahthecoat]

What a week to be reading this story, which deals directly with themes of sexual violence and coercion, and how a “charming” but evil man can persuade an inexperienced but well meaning woman to accept him as a credible suitor (at least until the full nature of his crimes and depravity are revealed). The kicker at the end is that kitty winter did jail time for the acid attack, which could be read as belated self defense. All too familiar to thousands of women today, who are much more harshly punished for defending themselves, than their abusers are for murder.

I feel proud to be a sherlock holmes fan, he’s been a true ally since the beginning, or at least since irene adler schooled him in SCAN.
