Sherlock Holmes
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes is one of literature's finest (and wittiest! ) detectives and can crack almost any case!
The iconic sleuth can catch the most elusive of criminals, confuse even the cleverest of Scotland Yard, and do it all without ever revealing his clues to the police, or the reader! Aided in cases by his friend and colleague, Dr. John Watson, (who also narrates), Sherlock Holmes banishes crime from where he resides on Baker Street to the far reaches of Europe.
With an eye for observation, the detective can see even the most minuscule discrepancies in a mystery, and needs only a glance to be able to tell where a person has lived, worked and traveled!
"Elementary," reminds Sherlock, and whether it's a murder, fraud, or another perplexing problem, he follows that rule to the T.
​

​
P.S. Yes, I meant that last sentence to rhyme!
