Best Answer

He preferred to write historical novels. He didn't want Holmes to overshadow those, so he killed him.

Conan Doyle brought him back to life by having Sherlock survive the Reichenbach Falls confrontation, hence the continuing stories of Sherlock Holmes written in the Mystery genre.

Even though Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle as a medical student had published a few stories, his career as a fiction writer really began after his obtaining the Master of Surgeries Degree from the University of Edinburgh. His fiction writing career stemmed from three different experiences- his journey in the Arctic-going whaling boat Hope as a medical student, his service in the Africa-going steamer Mayumba as a Medical Officer and his respect for his teacher Dr. Joseph Bell who was a master of observation, logic, deduction and diagnosis. In December 1887, the publication of A Study In Scarlet gained for him instant fame. This was the book in which Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were first introduced and with which Conan Doyle's career as a fiction writer really began. It is evident that Sherlock Holmes was modelled on Dr. Joseph Bell and Dr. Watson, the humble writer himself. After practicing surgery and medicine successfully for eight years, Conan Doyle committed himself fully to a writing career. Once he published his first book, there was no need for him to look back. Soon he abandoned his medical practice and became a full-time writer.
