" The Beekeeper's Apprentice," by Laurie R. Some of the books have Sherlock as the main character, while others follow in the Holmesian tradition and have characters that are simliar to him.ĭays after the encounter at the Swiss waterfall that claimed the lives of Sherlock Holmes and criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty, Pinkerton detective agent Frederick Chase and Scotland Yard Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction, must track down a sinister figure who is determined to stake his claim as Moriarty's successor. The mysteries below involve these same kinds of methods. Doyle's stories about Holmes are full of keen observations, logical deductions, and wit that are employed to solve a wide array of crimes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic detectives in the history of the mystery genre and has done much to shape the nature of detective fiction.
