Case of the Silver Earring. Granted, it doesn't work perfectly because the quiz parts are separated from the game as a whole, and there is no indication which questions you answered wrong when you fail. But I found it really satisfying to be awarded for keeping track of the acquired evidence, rather than just completing ingame challenges and dialogues unaware of the overall context.

Unfortunately, the game gives you too few clues to really solve the mystery, complete with all the details, before Holmes does, but, fortunately, the final quiz is skippable.
