About this listen

 A Study in Scarlet, first published in 1887, marked Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s debut of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. In the opening chapters, Dr. Watson is introduced to Holmes, and together they visit a puzzling murder scene. The crime leaves Scotland Yard detectives confused, but Holmes, with his signature brilliance, quickly unravels the mystery. The narrative then shifts to Utah, revealing the killer’s background, before returning to London for the final chapters. Holmes’s debut showcases his sharp observation, deductive genius, interest in chemistry and music, and his tendency to keep vital clues from Watson—and the reader—until the case’s dramatic conclusion.
