No. Just an incredibly precise and trained mind.
There were at least two dozen murders in the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
There is no Mrs. Blythe in any Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Do you mean the book: 'The patient's eyes: the dark beginnings of Sherlock Holmes' by David Pirie?
yes!!
The Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie is not based on any Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. Conan Doyle used no illusions or brainwashing in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Proceed with caution, Holmes.
There is no definite answer to this question in any of the stories, but the best guess based on speculation would put Sherlock Holmes in his early twenties during this story.
People have supernatural powers... but we call them talents ;)
Christopher compares himself to Sherlock Holmes when he is trying to find out who killed the dog. This is because he calls himself a 'detective'. In the Sherlock Holmes short story 'Silver Blaze' we find the following passage: Inspector Gregory: "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?" Sherlock Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." Inspector Gregory: "The dog did nothing in the night-time." Sherlock Holmes: "That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.
Pets would have required care and feeding and such, things that Sherlock Holmes might not have had time or inclinations for. Perhaps it is better that he did not have any as they might have died from neglect. Watson would've had to take care of him/her, grumbling all the way at Holmes and his lack of caring.
Dr. John H. Watson does not die in any of the original Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson continues to assist Sherlock Holmes on various cases throughout the series, even after Holmes' presumed death in "The Final Problem."
Any of the first Sherlock Holmes novels I highly recommend.
They are attributed to Sherlock Holmes, but he never actually says them in any of the written stories.Sherlock Holmes!
