Overview
Find out where it all began. A Study in Scarlet was written in 1886 and first published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual, a paperback magazine in England, in 1887. It was, at the time, not very popular. Doyle’s new characters, detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, were introduced for the first time. They later became two of the most famous characters in literature. In this volume, Holmes and Watson investigate the murder of a twisted corpse with no wounds. They meet the buffoonish inspectors from Scotland Yard, Lestrade and Gregson, with whom they interact in future cases. A Study in Scarlet is also notable for being the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool.
