A Study in Scarlet

Arthur Conan Doyle

The tale that started it all! An abandoned house. A vengeful killing. The first murder mystery of the idiosyncratic master detective and his loyal, yet skeptical sidekick.Revised edition with the original text by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and genuine illustrations from the first edition.John Watson is an ailing war veteran. Returning home from the Anglo-Afghan war, he needs to find affordable lodging. That's when he's introduced to Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Wary at first, a quick demonstration of Holmes's deductive reasoning turns Watson's disbelief into respect and astonishment.Holmes is a consulting detective, a master of science and deduction with a knack for the eccentric. Looking for someone to split the rent at a flat at 221B Baker Street, Watson fits the bill.Almost immediately, the duo is drawn into a case of murder and revenge that has Scotland Yard at their wits' end. Following a lead, they arrive at an abandoned house where the body was found and the word "RACHE" written in red on the wall. Holmes immediately dismisses this clue as a ploy to confound the police and begins his own investigation. And so begins the most famous detective partnership in history, but can they solve the murder in time before others get killed?A Study in Scarlet is a masterfully written murder mystery filled with intelligent dialogue and notable characters. If you enjoy a well-written whodunnit mystery with witty dialogue and strong, likable characters, then Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson fit the bill.
