A Study in Scarlet (Sherlock Holmes, #1)
by

This was a reread. I have read this book many times. It still holds up well. Sherlock Holmes is here, intact, unchanged, canon.
Both Lestrade and Watson are a foil to Sherlock's genius. I liked reliving the case and its unraveling. It was a nicety to concentrate on the serious side but also the humor. Rache!
Books like this always hold up. The prose is so modern sounding. Books that came after ASiS, are sometimes so outdated. But not here. Sherlock's various incarnations - I wouldn't say pale in comparison - but they make me yearn for reading Doyle's masterpiece.
