The format of the game is the same as the first two, except that there are three new cases to solve.

The Solicitous Solicitor:
The case takes place on 26 June 1890, according to the newspaper in the game. Melvin Tuttle, a recently promoted solicitor, has apparently died of a heart attack. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard recruits Holmes and Watson to investigate since he believes that Tuttle was poisoned. Along the way, Holmes and Watson learn of Tuttle's reputation for romancing various women, including the wife of one of his employers.

The Banker's Final Debt:
The case takes place on 11 April 1890. Oswald Mason was murdered in his home by an intruder. At the request of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is concerned that it might have had something to do with Oswald's work at Her Majesty's Treasury, Scotland Yard's Inspector Gregson recruits Holmes and Watson to investigate Mason's death.

The Thames Murders:
The case takes place on or shortly after 9 June 1890. A fifth body has been discovered in the Thames in a short amount of time. Inspector Lestrade is investigating the murders without success. Inspector Gregson asks Holmes and Watson to find a possible connection between all five deaths.
