A Study in Scarlet is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature.
Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." (A "study" is a preliminary drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece.)

I listened to David Clarke's excellent performance of The Count of Monte Cristo and really enjoyed his work. I wanted to listen to some other books that he's performed and A Study In Scarlet seemed like a good place to continue. It's an interesting story that weaves together two different narratives of London and Utah. Very entertaining and well performed once again. Thank you for your work and service David. Much appreciated.
My First sherlock Holmes book but Is certainly not the Last.

I started this book on a wimp but as it progressed i found my self more and more invested. The writing of the author and the voice of the narrator were so immersive that its almost like happening just in front of you. The variance between characters accents, speaking pattern, and emotions were conveyed brilliant. The narrator did a very good job would recommend 100%
