Virgin Holmes
>Client gives a long asinine story
Or
>Holmes walks around a crime scene for five minutes
>The rest of the book is Holmes explaining what crime took place followed by the criminal explaining why they did it
>cucked by an American whore

Vs Chad Poirot
>presented with a crime
>investigates the scene
>interrogates witnesses and potential suspects
>establishes motives for half the characters involved
>complex fact pattern with a seemingly impossible resolution
>Poirot uses actual reasoning and not Mary Sue brain magic to unravel the case and force the culprit to incriminate themselves.
>no time for chasing thots

Does anyone actually think Holmes is the superior detective?

Philip Marlowe is way better than those two doofuses:
>Marlowe ask questions and if he doesn't like what he's hearing, he'll make a snarky remark about them
> he doesn't chase Dames, the Dames chases him
> mystery is so convoluted, its more about the characters than the plot
>isnt an autist like Sherlock nor does he have a stupid mustache like Poirot
