Also, because Doyle is still maintaining the fiction that Watson is actually writing these stories, Watson in his own narration says that he's altered details of the story so the woman will be unrecognizable and that she's "currently beyond the reach of the law" (i.e. since died)

...Which all seems awfully convenient on his part

I feel like it isn't though! It's what you said — in a story about someone wronging women in such an intimate way, it feels fair for a woman to get to off him. Also Watson doesn't provide the slightest evidence of having lied in his stories, he's not really an unreliable narrator
