Sherlock Holmes Mystery

The Lauriston Garden Mystery

Season 1, Ep. 3

A lifeless body, a word scrawled in blood, and no sign of how—or why—it all happened. Holmes enters the shadows of Lauriston Gardens to illuminate the truth. 🩸🕵️‍♂️


“There lies the solution of the mystery.” — Sherlock Holmes


The Lauriston Garden Mystery


Holmes and Watson are called to the scene of a strange and brutal murder in the quiet enclave of Lauriston Gardens. The victim lies dead without a wound, yet the word "RACHE" is ominously painted in blood across the wall. The puzzle is chilling—and Holmes wastes no time in unraveling its twisted edges.

As footsteps are measured and cigar ash is analyzed, a deeper conspiracy begins to unfold. Holmes shows Watson, and listeners, how the smallest clues lead to the darkest revelations.


In The Lauriston Garden Mystery, deduction meets the grotesque, and murder walks quietly among civility. This episode is part of our immersive Sherlock Holmes Podcast Series—faithfully adapted and produced to capture the intensity and nuance of each case.


Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
