The detective stories are set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with plots that are full of twists, turns, and mystery. Based on the technological level of the time, the protagonists in the stories primarily rely on logical analysis and deduction to solve cases. The deductive thinking in the novel's plots is meticulous, and the judgments are accurate, making it a pinnacle of detective fiction art at the time. "A Study in Scarlet" portrays the tragedy caused by unreasonable religious and marital systems, while "The Sign of Four" criticizes the evil and nihilism resulting from human greed for wealth. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" even vividly depicts the insatiable desire for wealth and the cunning, venomous schemes to gain it without owning it, giving the novel sociological significance.
