A Study in Scarlet
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"'A Study in Scarlet' is
the first published story of one of the most famous literary detectives
of all time, Sherlock Holmes. Here Dr. Watson, who has just returned
from a war in Afghanistan, meets Sherlock Holmes for the first time when
they become flat-mates at the famous 221 B Baker Street. In 'A Study in
Scarlet' Sherlock Holmes investigates a murder at Lauriston Gardens as
Dr. Watson tags along with Holmes while narratively detailing his
amazing deductive abilities."

Notes:
I enjoyed reading the origin story and seeing what the original characters are like, especially after watching BBC Sherlock, but part 2 of this story got really tedious, at least until it got back to Watson's narrative. I liked seeing where the show played off of the actual story, though.
