The article uses a set of linguistic research methods, including the descriptive method, the method of continuous sampling of phraseological units, the method of comparative translation analysis, contextual analysis method. The conclusion characterizes and systematizes the most adequate ways of transferring of phraseological units, which in full, partial or modified form can recreate the stylistic background of a detective in translation.
