A monthly mystery subscription where you receive in-character letters from Sherlock Holmes, Watson, and Victorian clients - and must piece together the solution yourself.
Dear Holmes is a narrative mystery subscription that unfolds entirely through the mail. Each month, subscribers receive letters from Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and their latest Victorian client, along with physical clue packets and handcrafted evidence. Cases are written by modern Sherlock Holmes authors and edited by Dear Holmes mystery editors in partnership with MX Publishing, the world's largest specialist Holmes publisher. A companion podcast provides audiobook-quality narrations of each case. The experience is deeply immersive and rewards careful readers.
