A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle Book Summary

A Study in Scarlet was the career-starting, first Sherlock Holmes story published by Arthur Conan Doyle. Set in 19th-century London, it follows Dr. John Watson, a war veteran, and the enigmatic young Sherlock Holmes, a uniquely gifted detective. Two murders in London have Scotland Yard confounded, and the solution Holmes illuminates transports the reader to America’s Wild West of the 1850s, and beyond. A Study in Scarlet is a seminal work, and one that has transformed the mystery and crime genres. This Essential Classics edition includes a new introduction by Professor Vivian Heller, Ph.D. in literature and modern studies from Yale University.

Arthur Conan Doyle was a writer and physician born in Edinburgh. Doyle is best known for his detective fiction featuring Sherlock Holmes.

Good story, but inaccurate portrayal of LDS religion. I enjoyed the story a lot. It was well written and kept my attention all the way through. It is fun to read about how Sherlock’s mind figures things out. However, I did not enjoy the portion of the book where it talked about Salt Lake City and the “Mormons”. It was very historical inaccurate and portrayed them in a very bad light that many would easily find offensive. That is the only reason for 3 instead of 4 or 5 stars.

Definitely worth reading. This book is a great classic and very addictive, I’m not the fastest reader but I happen to finish this book in 2 nights because I couldn’t put it down
