The cases in Sherlock Holmes are very thrilling,
attractive and suspenseful but have no horror
elements. The biggest, most famous and paper-
consuming case of Detective Sherlock Holmes is the
confrontation with Professor James Moriarty - who is
a notorious criminal, his can be considered Sherlock
Holmes's biggest rival, that's why the battle between
them is so intense and brings many surprises

The difference between this book series and other
detective stories is that it is in the form of notes, so the
feeling will be more realistic.
The author describes the cases in very detail and
closely. The author almost gives the reader all the
facts to be able to deduce the culprit, following every
step of Sherlock Holmes. But in the end, the reader
cannot guess and only detective Sherlock Holmes is
the one who finds the culprit.
