I once worked out the killer in a Sherlock Holmes adventure just from the title.
It was THe Adventure of the Lion's Mane. I saw it and thought to myself 'I bet it's a jellyfish what does it!' (SPOILER ALERT) Turns out it was. Pointed this out to the wife, and how it made me cleverer than the world famous detective- it took him about 20 pages- and she said something along the lines of 'but they didn't have National Geographic or the Discovery Channel then, did they? You smug prick.' I find it hard to argue with her reasoning on that one, truth be told.

Also, and I'm just guessing here, Sherlock Holmes didn't wake up that morning with a big caption over his head saying 'the adventure of the lion's mane' ? :)

Actually...
They did have National Geographic back then.

So that makes Sherlock Holmes and your wife thicker than you.

And now I think about...
The victim's final agonising words, to Sherlock Holmes himself, no less, where 'The Lions Mane!'. So there. I am cleverer than Holmes, the fool!
