A generous package, comprising the five cases of the Mansion Murders, the very large one of Queens Park and two more cases, originally published separately. This Space Cowboys edition has what are becoming familiar issues with English that's not of its time or place or that's simply wrong. My favourite goof is the endless delicate fingers of Mrs Sipton in the introduction to case 1. Fingers too many to count or so long that the tips cannot be seen? Though case 7 takes the proverbial glass of cherry (as requested by Watson in its introduction) for its shear quantity of bad English. As for the cases; I have completed them all except for Queens Park, which I played twice in the Sleuth edition. I rate Queens Park the very best of the Consulting Detective cases. The seven that were new to me I found rather uneven. Best of that bunch is the second with its homage to a classic movie. The sixth comes close with a satisfyingly convoluted plot, but one silly element takes the shine off somewhat. Overall, I have rated Queens Park 8 and would rate the remainder of this package 6, so I'm splitting the difference. Production quality is sumptuous and there is some good artwork. My one complaint is with the grey paper the newspapers were printed on; it just doesn't look right.

Playing through these with Co right now. Definitely not a "board game". And if I have to classify it as a board game, it's certainly a "Co-Op", but its more of just a "murder mystery in a box" - which is great, it's exactly what I bought it for. Crack open a bottle of wine and solve a mystery. I haven't played the first set of mysteries in this game (Thames Murders, I think?) But we were looking for something to do... Very happy with the purchase, but again, I don't know that it ranks higher because there's 0 replayability.

These editions from Space Cowboys and Asmodee of the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective games are true works of art in nearly every element of their design! From all of the great writing in the cases, to the richly styled components and booklets, these games really immerse you in the era. And besides being great games, they are beautiful pieces to have sit on your shelf!
