well tbf, at least in the case of the original canon, a lot of those cliches weren't cliches when ACD wrote the books, and may have been totally original

also, my experience has been that it's pretty difficult to guess the outcome of the stories from the original canon if you don't already know what's going to happen, because Doyle doesn't give a shit about your ability to figure it out and is perfectly comfortable having the entire solution hang on something he doesn't mention at all till the denouement - in other words, he cheats

That pissed me off so hard the one time I read a Sherlock book.

Come on! If I wanted a story that was impossible for me to solve myself I'd read a modern mystery (looking at you James Paterson).

Sherlock Holmes is an old school detective story, not a Fair Play Whodunnit. 'It should be possible for the reader to solve it' just wasn't a thing for Doyle, or Poe.
