The Reviews Are In...

Dear Holmes is a delight, with intriguing mysteries brought by characters that could have walked straight out of a real Sherlock Holmes story. My husband and I eagerly looked forward to every letter.
I got my first clue today. I've spent part of this evening trying to brute force decode the clue with some golang code, but no success. Such an interesting and entertaining gift.
All 10-year-old Gaelynn wanted to be was a detective, and now almost 30 years later her dream has come true! Thanks to @my_dear_holmes, Paul & my parents solve crimes every Friday night!
Well done on a fantastic mother's day gift. My mother and her friend are greatly enjoying their mystery subscriptions. I have to say, they're well written and a joy to read.

All Of Your Renewal Questions, Answered*

*Except “What is the solution to this month’s mystery?” That’s your job.

How long do renewals/extensions take to process?

If you renew at least two weeks prior to the original expiration of your membership, there should be no gap in service. Otherwise, your mysteries will resume with the start of the next mystery.

Will this membership auto-renew?

The choice is yours! If you’d like your mystery membership to renew automatically, simply click "subscribe & save" when choosing your package above. You’ll receive an email in advance of any renewal, and you can change your mind and disable auto-renew at any time. If you’d like to make your renewal a one-time payment, select "Buy Once".

Will I receive the same mysteries all over again?

No, you’ll receive an all-new batch of mysteries. We change our letters every week.
