Read by Robert Dixon

(4.7 stars; 174 reviews)

"A Study in Scarlet" is the first ever Sherlock Holmes story split into two quite distinctive parts. The first part is told from the viewpoint of Dr. John Watson and recounts his first experiences of meeting the illustrious Sherlock Holmes and their subsequent co-habitation and crime-solving partnership. The second is told in a third person narrative and is set in the USA, setting an elaborate back-story to the eventual motive of the murderer, before returning to the UK towards the end of part two, the narration, once again, being picked up by Dr. John Watson. - Summary by Robert Dixon (3 hr 47 min)

A splendid, warm and involved reading

I've listened to most of the Sherlock audiobooks available, but I must say this one was read with a certain emotion and clarity that I haven't found anywhere else. The reader takes you on a wonderful journey and brings the words to life. Excellent work! Thank you.

Fabulous

I have listened to a lot of other Sherlock Holmes audiobooks but I must say that this one is the best by far. The reader speaks very clearly so it is easy to understand and follow.

Great and gripping story!

Never a dull moment in this excellent book. Robert Dixon was one of the best readers, using different voices and accents. Good job on the American characters!

Reader Robert Dixon does a fabulous job with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study In Scarlet. I enjoyed the story AND the telling of it very much.

This is my first Sherlock Holmes book and first foray into the detective genre. I am certainly invested in the character and the genre; it was a very enjoyable listen. Sort of wonder why I have left it so long to explore this iconic figure in English literature. Chapeau to the narrator Robert Dixon who I have listened to narrate many other books. He is certainly one of the best at his craft. So, now on to the next Sherlock Holmes book.
