Late answer, but I've been reading this exchange, and I'm with you all the way. Only, a Holmes-like character who is female is neither an impossibility or something that hasn't been done yet; The Girl With the Dragon tattoo is exactly this. But only the Swedish version. The American adaptation actually did make her "softer" and "more brittle" in order to make her "more appealing as a female character".

In the first part (of the miniseries) and the first book, she shares the main role with a male character, but she is the primary main character, there's never a question about that.

And these books (and miniseries) were the major phenomenon in Sweden for years. And no one talked about Mikael Blomkvist, it was all Lisbeth Salander!

And of course there are major cultural differences between Sweden and the USA (which may be ahy they weren't as big a hit in the US), but these books and Swedish miniseries are available in English, IIRC.
