Sherlock Holmes’ brilliance wasn’t just in spotting tiny details — it was in how he thought. From deduction to induction and abduction, Holmes mastered three forms of logic to solve even the most baffling mysteries. Discover how his reasoning worked, with examples from A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, and Silver Blaze.
Irene Adler stands apart in the world of Sherlock Holmes as the only person to have truly outmanoeuvred the great detective. She is the only woman to have bested Holmes, a distinction that underscores her exceptional intelligence and significance in his life.
While “deduction” gets all the headlines, Holmes himself often worked from fragments: a footprint in the garden, the scent of a cigar, a half-written letter. He would gather what was available, discard the impossible, and arrive at a conclusion so fitting that even Inspector Lestrade had to admit, “You’ve done it again, Mr. Holmes.”
