In what book did Sherlock holmes die?

Question

In a Sherlock holmes novel he dies. I am trying to find out the title.

Answer 1

You may be thinking of the events told in 'The Final Problem'. However, Holmes didn't really die.

Conan Doyle meant to stop writing about his famous detective with this short story, but pressure from his fans eventually persuaded him to bring the character back. There were enough holes in eyewitness accounts to allow Conan Doyle to plausibly resurrect Holmes, and during his three-year “death”, only the few free, surviving members of Moriarty’s organization, and Holmes’s brother Mycroft (who appears briefly in this story) know that Sherlock Holmes is still alive, actually having won the struggle at Reichenbach Falls, sending Moriarty to his doom, but nearly meeting his own at Moriarty's henchmen's hands.

Answer 2

It was "The Adventure of the Final Problem" at the end of the "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". Doyle brought him back to life in the story "The Adventure of the Empty House" in "The Return of SHerlock Holmes".

You might like to visit the place, where he "died" together with his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty. The Reichenbach Falls in Meiringen (Swiss).

Answer 3

The Adventure of the Final Problem. (It isn't really a novel, but a short story, as were most of the Holmes adventures.) And he didn't REALLY die. He came back in another story called The Adventure of the Empty House.

Answer 4

I do not think anyone can die in a book. They can die in an accident, or in a hospital, or so many other places. But to die in a book? How do they enter a book in the first place?

Answer 5

I believe it wasthe Final Problem. Fact or Fiction you tell me!

Answer 6

Try to see if this helps.
