    Sleeping on the couch was not a typical thing for the detective; he had his own bed only a few feet from where he laid sprawled, but the past few nights the couch had been his choice. One leg hung over the edge of the worn cushions, an arm draped across his eyes, and his navy blue robe twisted and tangled about his limbs. Yes, this was one of the great detective's bad days; Sherlock Holmes was in a slump. His eyes slowly peered open and his arm moved just enough to let the man glare daggers at the

    Edgar Allan Poe is regularly viewed as the creator of the detective criminologist novel; however, it was Arthur Conan Doyle who genuinely cemented it as a detective crime classification. A noteworthy contrast between Doyle 's investigator stories and Poe 's is Doyle 's consideration of a sidekick character to help Sherlock Holmes in his adventures. The sidekick has become a fundamental segment of numerous literary, social, and cinematic detective crime fictions. The rising popularity of crime fiction

    "Hello Sherlock," Jim said from the darkness, down at Sherlock as he was picking himself up off of the damp concrete floor. "So how is John these days? Is he doing well?" Jim smirked, knowing he hit a nerve. It was obvious that Moriarty knew on of Sherlock’s very few weaknesses. The man had always known, it is hard not to see, let alone a criminal mastermind. "He is doing well," Sherlock responded cooly, brushing himself off and leaving it at that, figuring he knew already. "And you Sherlock? Are

    What happened to Sherlock Holmes in the first chapter of the book called The Sign of the four? The story took place at Sherlock’s home. It started when Sherlock injects himself with the cocaine into his bloodstream. “Cocaine has a very powerful stimulating effect on the nervous system. It raises levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter linked to pleasure, movement, and the brain's reward circuit.” (Nordqvist). John Watson’s point of view was that he saw Sherlock look depressed. He would say that Sherlock

    In all stories there are characters that make it worthwhile. Sherlock Holmes is a witty, yet arrogant young man. He solves crime in a short amount of time, with the help of his partner Dr. Watson. He boasts about his intelligence and acts like he is better than most people. Dr.Watson on the other hand is a feeble and polite man. He was a military doctor, who got injured, and is usually uplifting Sherlock. These two characters are very different, but share many of the same qualities like being unsociable
