On glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic.

I had no keener pleasure than in following Holmes in his professional investigations, and in admiring the rapid deductions, as swift as intuitions, and yet always founded on a logical basis, with which he unravelled the problems which were submitted to him.

When Arthur Conan Doyle created the iconic Sherlock Holmes in 1887, he had no idea that his readers would come to think that the investigating detective really existed. But that is what happened: thousands of readers wrote to Sherlock Holmes at 221b Baker Street, asking him to solve an astonishing array of cases. Doyle also received letters full of riddles and unsolved crimes, as everybody believed that someone capable of solving the most difficult fictional crimes would also have the intelligence to solve them in real life. And they were not far from the truth, because Doyle did solve many real cases in the course of his life.

People might be dismissive of someone obsessed with mystery stories, as if the line between fiction and reality was so distinct. They didn’t know, perhaps, that Sherlock Holmes was based on a real man, Dr. Joseph Bell, and that the methods Arthur Conan Doyle created for his fictional detective inspired generations of real-world detectives. Did they know that Arthur Conan Doyle went on to investigate mysteries in his real life and even absolved a man of a crime for which he had been convicted? Did they know how Agatha Christie brilliantly staged her own disappearance in order to exact an elegant revenge on a cheating husband?

You know what's weird?" David said as Stevie was lost in thought. "What's weird is making a hobby out of the death of your classmate. You know what's also weird? Going through people's rooms, including the room of your dead classmate. Because you seem crazy." People might be dismissive of someone obsessed with mystery stories, as if the line between fiction and reality was so distinct. They didn't know, perhaps, that Sherlock Holmes was based on a a real man, Dr. Joseph Bell, and that the methods Arthur Conan Doyle created for his fictional detective inspired generations of real-world detectives. Did they know that Arthur Conan Doyle went on to investigate mysteries in his real life and even absolved a man of a crime for which he had been convicted? Did they know how Agatha Christie brilliantly staged her own disappearance in order to exact an elegant revenge on a cheating husband? They probably did not. And no one was going to discount Stevie Bell, who had gotten into this school on the wings of her interest in the Ellingham case, and who had been a bystander at a death that was now looking more and more suspicious. She was not crazy. And Hayes's key was in her pocket and Pix was on her way back. Stevie turned away and left David's room without saying anything else. Because she was also not going to let him see her cry.

Sherlock Holmes would’ve been proud of my investigative methodβ€”only my method works backwards. He used the skill of deductive reasoning, putting the clues he observed together to develop a conclusion. I, however, find evidence to support my conclusion once I know what the answer is.

Susannah tells me that crime scene investigation is all the rage on television these days. I picture Sherlock Holmes bending over a corpse with his magnifying glass. Holmes’ magnifying glass, that is. The corpse probably wouldn’t have one.

You see I have deduced why Sherlock has a deerstalker cap, why Arthur Conan Doyle chose it. If you some the Jack the Ripper reports the suspect is wearing a dirty deerstalker cap. I believe it is likely because the case was unsolvable he left it on Sherlock Holmes mind forever. I hate to hear him whine so I suppose I shall to return take the stupid hat off his head, that funny author put on him over a century ago.

Even though Hercule Poirot rapidly became as famous as Sherlock Holmes, his creator grew tired of him after a while. Christie called him an β€œego-centric creep,” who was more concerned with the trim of his mustache than the feelings of the human beings caught up in murder cases, and who made a point of making fun of the police officers who couldn’t keep up with his rapid-fire investigations. Tapping his forehead, Poirot was fond of saying: β€œThese little gray

Sensei, you may be hoping that some fictional mastermind detective will show up like Sherlock Holmes and solve all the riddles of this case, but I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that in real life. We have to investigate meticulously, one step at a time. Even if we know from the start that leads are going nowhere, we have to conscientiously follow up. That may seem like a very roundabout approach, but it ends up being the most efficient way by far. In murder investigations, the shortest distance between two points may turn out to be a circle.
