Key features of a detective story in Sherlock Holmes books include a brilliant detective, usually Sherlock Holmes himself, who employs keen observation and logical reasoning to solve complex cases. The presence of a loyal assistant, often Dr. John Watson, provides a relatable perspective for the reader and aids in narrating the story. Additionally, these tales feature intricate plots with red herrings, compelling suspects, and a final revelation where the mystery is unraveled. The stories often explore themes of justice and morality, emphasizing the contrast between order and chaos in society.
