Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Combining brilliant deduction with an unexpectedly sprawling story, Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes novel introduces one of literature’s most enduring partnerships.

Recently returned from military service, Dr. John Watson meets the eccentric and relentlessly observant Sherlock Holmes in London. When a baffling murder leads Holmes through a maze of clues, the investigation becomes a tale of betrayal and vengeance in the American West.

Watson watches his new companion transform scattered evidence into certainty, as the case reveals how a grievance carried across decades can turn poisonous. A Study in Scarlet’s brisk, inventive, and structurally daring style captures the birth of a legendary relationship, and the moment the modern detective story found its voice.

    Trust me, this is one of the best classic mysteries you should read. Maybe at first you need to get used to the 1800’s language but after you get used to the language in the book and start to REALLY enjoy the book.

    I struggled to really grab on to it. This book was a school book we had to read, but it doesn't have enough plot for me or my interests.

    Has a great plot, but drags on really slowly. It definitely took me some determination to finish it.

    I have not read such an excellent book in a very long time; it includes all the thrills and twists I like to have in a story. I never thought I'd be so surprised by a book in all my life!
