I thought John lacked the PTSD part too much. Kinda OoC, but Sherlock was nice to read. He was... real, somehow. I just like Polyphony's version of Sherlock, thumbs up.
The murder was not too predictable, though I had a hunch where things were heading early on. The explanation was well-placed with the peak, the conclusion, at the case's turnabout point.
