A recruiter called you and got you a job working for a suspicious new company ... but is there a dead stakeholder in the attic?!?

I mean, this just clicked for me that at least two of the original canon of Sherlock Holmes stories are Gothics seen from the outside, a device which is sufficiently not overplayed as to be something people should do more often (I am thinking of "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" and "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist," regularly cited in Tumblr discussions about Holmes caring about people, damn it).
