Not my idea of a compelling hero.
He wasn't supposed to be.
Spoiler:
He wasn't the hero, he was the murderer that Sherlock was looking for.
To me the story showed the author's concept that the murders weren't black and white with innocent victims and senseless killers. I think that it makes for a good beginning.
