A study in scarlet was the very first Sherlock Holmes novel. Here. In the most remarkably precise manner, Doyle produced two of the most well-known characters in English fiction. Their individual traits and their relationships, their ambitions and foibles are introduced against the backdrop of an exciting story of revenge and persistence, which starts in Victorian England but moves to the American West, and the environment of the early Mormon communities.

reviewed A Study in Scarlet

I liked "The Lost World" so much that I wanted to find another Doyle audio book. returnreturnThere were lots of collections of short stories on Sherlock Holmes, but this seemed like the only long complete tail.returnreturnIt was long. I would have been happy if ended at about the end of the first half and they just told us how he determined the killer. returnreturnInstead they started this whole other story about Mormons in the U.S. It was so different that I honestly didn't realize it was the same book. I thought it was some kind of "bonus feature" or something on the MP3 CD Disk. At the end of the second half they tied it all together, I won't spoil the ending, but part of me wishes someone had.
