Canon Story: The Resident Patient
Title: The Best of the Yarders
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: U

I have high hopes of Inspector Lanner: it is always agreeable to be greeted with delight rather than scepticism by a Scotland Yard officer. Despite his failure to recognise the murder as such, he was also prompt in following my suggestion of tracing the page. I feel he will go much further in his career than a blunderer like Lestrade.

Aww but Lestrade and Gregson are the best of a bad lot.

But I seriously love Holmes feeling vindicated that an officer is quite pleased to see him!

And as Lestrade and Gregson don't progress in rank through the series this works here too, actually!

Do we ever hear of Inspector Lanner again though? Enthusiastic but short lived. Well written. Thanks for sharing some new perspectives!

I like to think he went on to great heights. Perhaps that's why we don't hear from him again -- too busy rising on his own.

Hm. Perhaps he works for the City of London in future...having displayed the ability to liaise with Holmes.

Great to give this character his moment. I wish him well in his career:-)
