Unit 5
Lesson 2 and 3:
‘The best detective of all time’
Talk about Sherlock Holmes.
The answer:
The character Sherlock Holmes was a professional detective. He thought fame was not important. Watson wrote his stories for people to know Holmes’ role in them. Holmes’ tools were science, logic and observation of small details. His techniques, such as examining fi ngerprints, later became a reality in police investigations. Next time you are in London, visit his famous apartment at 221b Baker Street. It became a museum in 1951.
