What was Sherlock Holmes good at?

Answer 1

Being the first Consulting Detective in the world :}

Also, for bringing observation and deduction to criminal detection in Conan Doyle's world. Without Holmes' contribution, much criminal detection of the day followed Occam's (Ockham's) Razor more than an empirical, investigative, scientific approach.

Answer 2

Mostly: "Elementary, my dear Watson!"

Although that is the most popular phrase, ironically, Holmes never said it.

I was always fond of "The game is afoot" though...
"Elementary, my dear Watson!"

------

Though he never said it in the books.

Answer 3

Well, one of his cases he did with Dr. Watson was solving the mystery of Lord Black-Wood.

There is hardly any room to tell you the rest, but he has done a lot. Not all of them were done by Holmes and Watson, some were just Holmes. But, the rest are on this website linked below.
