Cliché, olé

The books of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson include a lot of amusing clichés. What I liked about this novel "The Sign of Four" is not only the interesting story itself that in a (usual) twist reveals the criminal and their motive. The novel also has real history in its background and made me read a lot of Wikipedia. You need time though.
