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.)

A gripping tale, well read! One of the best narrators I've heard and one I will be following.

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%

This reader is absolutely excellent, and he had a most excellent book to read. Part I is the first time that Dr. Watson meets Sherlock Holmes, which is fun to hear. As the story progresses, Holmes becomes interested in a recent crime and then becomes thoroughly involved. It is always fun to hear Holmes explain his reasoning techniques. Watson immediately knows that his new flatmate is very complicated. The description of the murder scene did not present clues to me. When part II began, I had to make sure I hadn't accidentally skipped to a different story. Part II was so full of strange history. It seems that the author wasn't fond of Mormons. This is where the love story appeared as well as a kind of imprisonment. Eventually, the two parts come together, and Holmes solves the crime.
excellent

Well told story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is kind of a conceited character, yet I can’t help liking him and am always pleased when he solves his case. Read well by David Clarke as always. For real I would almost listen to any book read by him just because he reads so well!
Good start for my journey

My first Conan Doyle work. Hope the rest evolves. The narration was really good and added to my understanding of the whole thing. I think if I just readed I would have to go over things more than once to follow the plot, specially the whole american story chapters
