I read this story a couple of weeks ago and was quiet gutted that chapter 4 was not posted yet. So I was happy when I saw it updated.

I have enjoyed reading this story very much and I am a little disappointed that it is already over.

I really liked the plot. The crime was interesting, so were the deductions and the solving of it.

I also like your writing style and the way you describe stuff. Like in the first chapter, when Sherlock observes the corpse, with the way you have written this scene I can picture the dead man accurately. Gives me shivers, good thing I do not know how a dead person smells.

I have to admit that I am a sucker for beautiful detailed descriptions and breathtaking sentences. And I think that you have both of those in your story. So I am overjoyed.

I like your Sherlock. He is snarky, sarcastic and very him. It is interesting to read what he thinks about the world, John and Harriet, and how to pool incident has affected him.

One other thing that I liked was the BAMF!Watsons. Sometimes I get annoyed when authors make John into a wuss in their stories. I love to read fanfics where John is portrayed being clever and able. I also like the backstory that you got for him. Poor guy, what a tough life.

Um. That is about it... I think I am done gushing. I think I save my fangirling on "Facing the Odds" for another time.

Wow, thank you so so much, I'm glad you liked the story and the plot and wow, thank you!

I'm so sorry that the story took so long to write. I am a perfectionist when it comes to characterization, and if I don't feel it's on I go crazy and rewrite chapter three to four times.

For my style of writing, I'm super glad you enjoy the detail. I am a big fan of description and setting as I am a visual learner so I want to "see" what the character sees and thus extensive (and sometimes needless) description follows. Luckily I have an incredibly talented beta who has culls needless sentences and balances description with with clarity.

As for dead people. The smell is unforgettable and very not good.

Also, Thank you thank you thank you for your kind comments. I am very flattered and very humbled!
