The Adventure of the Reigate Squires, Part 1

Sherlock Holmes needs a break. That's the recommendation of his friend, Dr. Watson, after Holmes's exertions on his last case lead him to a nervous breakdown. So Holmes and Watson are off to the countryside for a week of relaxation...until there's a murder in the sleepy village where they're staying. Could the murder of poor William Kirwan be related to the robbery at Acton's place two days ago? If anyone can find out, it's Sherlock Holmes, even if his illness seems to have him a little off his game. Tuck yourself under the covers and settle in as this week's story helps you take your own break from the day and carries you into another night of gentle and relaxing slumber.
