Who really enjoys reading Sherlock Holmes?
When I was younger I found it to be pretentious and it felt like the stories were written in a way that you couldn't figure out the culprit before the ending.
Having gotten a little older and having some of my own minute mysteries to solve I have begun to appreciate Sherlock Holmes very much.
My favorite story happens to be The Musgrave Ritual; http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/40/the-memoirs-of-sherlock-holmes/577/adventure-5-the-musgrave-ritual/
Are there other mystery and detective novels that /lit/ would recommend?

My girlfriend loves this stuff.
I decided to write her a book. It's about a small town conspiracy involving a sex cult and some kidnappings. This sherriff (former fixer with new creds) starts to question his wife's motives in running for mayor after a strange case comes to a foreboding close. Concurrently a young couple seek out a rumored Alaskan tribe society that worships a man claiming to be the spawn of the Devil and God. Inspired by True Detective but not as explicit.

Give her "The Return", a short story by H. Beam. Piper to read. It's really short, and she may appreciate the twist

Not OP but if you read a Sherlock Holmes book and you don't have suspicions of who is guilty (and you don't have them right), all I can assume is you probably didn't read the book properly.

Hound of the Baskervilles was good
