Review of The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes is arguably the most well-known fictional sleuth, but he's not my favourite. I prefer the deductive methods of Poirot. My problem with Conan Doyle's mysteries is that they usually hinge on a detail unknown the reader, thus making it very difficult for the reader to attempt to solve the mystery on his or her own.
