Sirius and Severus investigating a crime together? I don't know which one I pity more...:) Keep up the good work! Oh, by the way - are Severus and Minerva *ever* going to escape from the Mont-Streppings, hint...hint...
Hmmm...it starts out springly (my gwad, is that a word?)-little light humor, love the verbal pokings between Sev and Sirius. Mental picture of Albus looking down upon the corpse, going, "oh, dear." *cackle*
But then, reality comes to forefront-the deceased wasn't there for a cup of tea w/ Sev, but more likely to kill him. What a depressing thought, Sev being aware of his limited time left to live.
Any chance at spilling the beans on Sirius getting murderous on Malfoy? pretty please?
One little inconsistency-at beginning of story, about 15 lines down when Sirius says something about a "soulless wonder" and Sev retorts "...you say that as though it's a good thing." Shoudnl't that line read "...as though it's a *bad* thing"?
Keep the chpts coming. You can't dangle a mystery like this and just abandon it! LOL.
p.s. just make sure Sev is breathing still. May I be biased, (fell rather hard over Alan Rickman, mind you) but Snape has to be my fav, Death Eater or no Death Eater.
Another great story, but update 'When in Rome', UPDATE 'WHEN IN ROME', UPDATE UPDATE...
Ahem, well, I digress.
I agree with you that Rickman would make a terrific Sherlock Holmes, even better than Snape, but this surely is a matter of taste.
I like very much how you have Snape and Sirius bickering in this story.

Loved that! The banter between Snape and Black was great fun to read, and I love whodunnits. Oh please, please continue...

Brilliant! Brilliant! Severus and Sirius together had me rolling on the floor in hysterics! I LOVE the way they trade barbs and insults, and their subtly portrayed mutual respect for each other!
Minerva is wonderfully captured as always. Easily a match for her two bad boys. And Dumbledore is a delight. I can't wait to see Hermione's roll in this story too, she's clever and sharp enough to hold her own in this company!
More! Please!
