"Sherlock’s deductive prowess (whether imitated or not) is intriguing, but other aspects of Doyle’s handling encouraged Holmes’s great commercial success. One reason is that mankind derives endless fascination from the detective genre, perhaps because the present state of our existence centers on a kind of criminal event that occurred bygone ages ago in a garden called Eden. Since that fateful fruit selection, man’s life is inextricably bound up with sorting out the precise details and implications
of this or that deception or crime." -From Marcus Schwager's guide
