It is not a "common phrase" in the US.

It is a quaint exclamation that we would associate with British mystery story. (Often attributed to the character of Sherlock Holmes.)

She was referencing British mystery stories.

However, a few weeks ago when Trump had a rally in Tulsa, every newscaster suddenly filled their broadcasts with references to the title of an R&H musical. It was uncanny.
