It was obvious from the start, if you were the writer. I only thought that this person could be the murderer from Watsons' inconspicuous night talking to the postie. Though I would have preferred to be right without guessing.. Another Arthur Conan Doyle who dunnit. One of my favourite portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson duo played by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
