In 2013,sherlock(神探夏洛克) will return for a third TV series because it's so popular in England. But to many people, Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in the world.
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was created by Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle,who wrote many stories about the detective between 1887 and 1927.
Holmes lived in a flat at 221b Baker Street in London. He wasn^ a tidy man and left things everywhere in his room. He had the habit of smoking heavily,which was not considered bad at that time. Holmes had a strong sense of humor and enjoyed “doing the right thing”. He would lie to the police or break into houses when he believed it was the right thing to do. In his time,such actions were not bad if they were done for good reasons. It is not clear how much money Holmes made. He admitted having enough money to buy a large house and live a rich life.
