Sherlock Holmes
Hey there, mystery lover! Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant, pipe-smoking sleuth from 221B Baker Street, was dreamed up by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. This razor-sharp detective, with his trusty sidekick Dr. John Watson, cracked cases using cold logic, keen observation, and a violin for downtime vibes.

Doyle penned 4 novels and 56 short stories, kicking off with A Study in Scarlet (1887). Must-reads:
