* AlwaysMurder: Naturally. There are several times where Holmes investigate things that aren't murders, only for it to lead to dead bodies eventually. At one point, Holmes shows up to a public garden expecting to just be investigating the theft of a few rare plants as a favor to someone. The moment he shows up he finds out the director of the gardens has recently been murdered, which is of course related to the missing plants.

* BreatherEpisode: ''The Abbey Grange Affair'' comes after ''Riddle on the Rails,'' a long case with many crime scenes and clues, and ''Blood Bath,'' a very complicated case with many puzzles, several suspects and ''six possible conclusions.'' In contrast ''Abbey Grange'' is straightforward, has only two suspects and one crime scene, and the game practically gives you the answer partway through investigating it. It can be finished in only a few minutes, and the only thing the player is in danger of is jumping the gun by choosing the ''technically'' true conclusion before getting the last few threads that allow the full story.
