For example, as a child, Holmes is described as “small, odd, and exceptionally bright.” At this point early in the book, we are not yet led to suspect the true nature of Holmes, but we know that there is something wrong with him.

After the sudden death of his friend Charles Baskervile, Dr. James Mortimer seeks advice from Sherlock Holmes.

Sometimes, examining the case in a different view, thinking as a murder, will decrease the time to solve the puzzle. Depending too much on the clues, which getting from people on the train, makes him going to the loop that all people cannot be a murder, but he sometimes thinks that everyone can be a murder. On the half of this novel, Poirot thinks like he can find the murder by asking people and focuses on what they react to a trap that he builds.
