The phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" has become one of the most quoted and iconic aspects of the character. However, although Holmes often observes that his conclusions are "elementary", and occasionally calls Watson "my dear Watson", the phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" is never uttered in any of the sixty stories by Conan Doyle. [176] One of the nearest approximations of the phrase appears in " The Adventure of the Crooked Man" (1893) when Holmes explains a deduction: "'Excellent!' I cried. 'Elementary,' said he." [177] [178] Despite Holmes's remarkable reasoning abilities, Conan Doyle still paints him as fallible in this regard (this being a central theme of " The Yellow Face").

Because of the small scale of much of his evidence, the detective often uses a magnifying glass at the scene and an optical microscope at his Baker Street lodgings. He uses analytical chemistry for blood residue analysis and toxicology to detect poisons; Holmes's home chemistry laboratory is mentioned in " The Naval Treaty". [129] Ballistics feature in "The Adventure of the Empty House" when spent bullets are recovered to be matched with a suspected murder weapon, a practice which became regular police procedure only some fifteen years after the story was published.

In 1991, Charlton Heston played Holmes in the Turner Network Television production of Paul Giovanni's play The Crucifer of Blood. The author explores several different murders, mostly of women but there’s also a train heist, where Heinrich draws conclusions about what happened using different methods we know well today: handwriting analysis, blood spatter patterns, fingerprints, and dental examination. Toward the end of the book, the author also reveals how some of these methods have led to serious problems over time, and in some cases have led to the conviction of innocent people.

From the acclaimed author of Death in the Air ("Not since Devil in the White City has a book told such a harrowing tale"--Douglas Preston) comes the riveting story of the birth of criminal investigation in the twentieth century. The detective is particularly skilled in the analysis of trace evidence and other physical evidence, including latent prints (such as footprints, hoof prints, and shoe and tire impressions) to identify actions at a crime scene, [123] using tobacco ashes and cigarette butts to identify criminals, [124] utilizing handwriting analysis and graphology, [125] comparing typewritten letters to expose a fraud, [126] using gunpowder residue to expose two murderers, [127] and analyzing small pieces of human remains to expose two murders. [128]Holmes aficionados refer to the period from 1891 to 1894—between his disappearance and presumed death in "The Final Problem" and his reappearance in "The Adventure of the Empty House"—as the Great Hiatus. [49] The earliest known use of this expression dates to 1946.

Heinrich had many failings during his own time as well. The author regularly notes that he was criticized for being too scientific in his testimony which confused jurors. I found this surprising as he was a teacher, but it’s also a skill to be able to explain the things you know well to different kinds of people who have various levels of understanding. What you're actually getting here is a choppy mishmash of relatively boring cases and life stories about Oscar Heinrich. I thought there would be more of a historical rundown of the evolution of forensic sciences centred around different murder cases included throughout, but no. a b Crompton, Sarah (1 January 2012).

This book begins and ends with one of Heinrich’s most famous cases about a man accused of killing his wife. The author takes the reader through the case and his methods. In the end, she leaves it to the reader to determine if the outcome was what it should have been. Clarke, Steve (1 October 2009). "Can Holmes solve co-prod mystery?". Variety.

Heinrich developed many revolutionary methods for solving crimes including fingerprints, blood spatter, and comparative microscope (invented by someone else, but he was among the first to use it). He was also credited with techniques that are now considered junk science, like handwriting analysis.
