Features: The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a classic in the mystery genre. The novel describes his family and personal experiences. He is the descendant of a squire, with his grandmother being the sister of the French painter Horace Vernet. Therefore, he was familiar with Vernet's paintings from a young age and learned about the social customs of two generations ago from them. This explains why he could adapt to rural life, be familiar with the countryside, and never miss any opportunity to investigate French cases. Each story begins with a body (or missing person), and then the detective appears to solve the case, with a thick mist of mystery surrounding everyone, making it seem as if everyone is a suspect. In the high-spirited plot, the brilliant detective confronts the criminal, and justice faces evil. Through the mysterious and obscure murder cases, the author is concerned with the causes behind the killings and analyzes the social background of the dark side of the human psyche.
