Rank 55 of 100
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Also known as Sherlock Holmes
Synopsis
Dr. Watson records twelve cases of the consulting detective who treats a client’s panic as a set of clues ordinary people have already seen and failed to connect. Doyle’s pleasure is the reveal, but the warmth is the rooms on Baker Street, where brilliance has a friend to tell it to.
