A Study in Scarlet

"A Scandal in Bohemia"

The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Not only are these some of Conan Doyle's best work, but they also give a lot of good exposition about the characters. For extra credit, I would also recommend "The Greek Interpreter" (first introduction of Mycroft) and The Sign of Four (Watson falls in love with Mary Morstan).

Really, anyone interested in Holmes would do well to read the entirety of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.. It's only a dozen or so stories, and most of them are short. Add the novels--Scarlet, Hound, and Sign on top of that, and you're in pretty good shape.
