A Study in Scarlet is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, introducing his new characters, "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who later became two of the most famous characters in literature. Conan Doyle wrote the story in 1886, and it was published the following year.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Horrible reader. Monotone, 3rd grade reading style. Snooze worthy. Did a great story a dis-service

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I never realized how efficiently charming and engaging the original Holmes book was, nor was I at all prepared for the sudden detour in the second half, which was incredibly thrilling.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5After reading this, I have a slightly different sense of Mr. Holmes than how he's been portrayed in movies and such.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A spectacular narration of at least 5 different accents makes this first adventure of Watson and Holmes together a delight. When one narrator can make two characters dialogue clear and believable, I am quite impressed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great story that is well read. Easy to follow along and keeps the listener in suspense. Loved it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed his brilliant deductions. Took a turn I never expected. Excellent, exciting narration. :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This story bounced between several different timelines, I found it interesting how they both impacted the outcome of Sherlock's mystery. It was wonderful meeting our two famous characters and taking a step back to see how they first were able to offset each others brilliance.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5You can't go wrong! Beautifully narrated, absorbing, delightfully surprising. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stands the test of time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tells the story of how Holmes and Watson met, and of course, provides a riveting mystery as well. The narrator handles male and female, British and American roles well.
