About this audiobook

A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.

Ratings and reviews

So after a long time I have found a book like this.All in all, A study In Scarlet was very enjoyable because of its unique, yet powerful, storytelling. The characters are both likeable and are easily sympathized with. The deadly combination of a tantalizing narrative and solid characterization will trap you and make you keep asking for more. If you enjoy either one of these aspects then this is a great novel for you.

This is a novel. This audiobook is amazing and has a very smooth audio quality. I enjoyed it a lot! If you wanna spend some quality time, then must read it. You won't regret it! Highly recommended.

Fantastic audiobook with a great narration! It's been a while I've been trying to read this book but I've been busy. Feeling very lucky to have found this audiobook. Definitely recommend it! :D
