Move Over Moriarty

Synopsis:
As in so many of Conan Doyle's originals, this Holmes story begins in Holmes's study as the great man reflects on his past triumphs while smoking his pipe and playing the violin when a young woman arrives with an irresistible mystery. In this case, the mystery involves a threat to her father's life at the theatre, an acrobat who lost his mind after an accident that killed his brother, threatening notes made from letters cut from the Times and some strange appearances of Garibaldi biscuits. Oh, and there's a hound from Hell on the moors too.

the Aga in this Aga-saga spoof has a gothic-shaped door which is handy because, in Louise Ann Wilson's witty design, it doubles as the Little Pocklington parish church. there must, in real life, be hundreds of vicar's wives who find sexual satisfaction with their husbands. they just don't get much of a look in in literature.
