Episode 399 - Who Killed Charles Augustus Milverton?

What do we *really* know about the person who killed the master blackmailer?

“private revenge” [CHAS] 

In "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton," Watson tells us that a woman with a "dark, handsome, clear-cut face" lifted her veil and "emptied barrel after barrel into Milverton’s body," leaving him dead on the floor.

But in the Summer 2024 issue of The Baker Street Journal (Vol. 74, No. 2), Carla Coupe wonders if Watson wasn't giving us the whole story. It's just a Trifle.
