A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur
Conan Doyles first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book,
Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with
them to the scene of a murder. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard
detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of
the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderers history.
The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first
adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later
became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant
deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat
annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and
consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case. (Summary by
Laurie Anne Walden)
