Published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet is the novel that introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson — a landmark moment in the history of detective fiction. Conan Doyle’s consulting detective dazzles Watson (and readers) from the very first meeting, and the Utah flashback sequences give the murder mystery an unexpectedly epic dimension.
This is where it all began: Baker Street, Holmes’s methods, the friendship that would span sixty stories. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg and read the origin of the world’s most famous detective in a clean, well-formatted edition.
