Query: Nice Introduction to a Character That Only Gets Better

By far, the best Sherlock Holmes stories were in the future but the legend had to begin somewhere. And that place is a Study in Scarlet, Arthur Conan Doyle's introduction of Holmes and Watson, who are already remarkably quite complete in terms of all their personality tics and quirks. The book's beginning is quite fascinating as the mystery is bloody and mysterious, chock full of clues and red herrings, lacking only anything resembling a suspect. The actual solution is, sadly, quite long-winded and hopelessly silly and the way in which Holmes solves the case is also fairly preposterous with much actually left unanswered. Still, much can be forgiven as this is the story that gave birth to the legend of Sherlock Holmes and there were many stories in the future that would live up to that great myth.
