Best Answer

This is purely a matter of opinion, but as a Sherlock Holmes aficionado myself, I can confidently give you the most famous cases the great detective solved.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

A Study in Scarlet

A Scandal in Bohemia

The Boscombe Valley Mystery (not to be confused with The Valley of Fear or Shoscombe Old Place)

The Crooked Man

The Greek Interpreter

Silver Blaze

The Valley of Fear

The Final Problem

The Empty House

...And most, if not all, of the ones in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!

The four most famous (in my opinion, and from what I gather from society) are underlined and italicised. Hope that helps, from PNEROX!

P.S. The last two are bold because - SPOILER ALERT! - they concern his "death" and "reincarnation".

They both solve crime but they're different people made by different people. Sherlock Holmes was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Miss Marple was created by Agatha Christie.
