A Study in Scarlet
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel—and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson—is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly.
The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues—save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men—a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes—meet for the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men's hearts as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue.
Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today it is completely reimagined with artwork by the modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.

Gr 7 Up-A great way to introduce young adult readers to Sherlock Holmes. This unabridged version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1887 novel has been updated with Grimly's signature dark and stylized illustrations. The artwork suits the sinister, bizarre nature of the tale-the characters have crazy, twisted hairstyles, super skinny necks, and are reminiscent of graphic-novel figures. Readers will quickly become absorbed in the story of the first time that Holmes meets his future partner Watson, who has just returned from an exhausting military stint in Afghanistan. Police are baffled at first when a dead man is discovered in an empty house and the word "RACHE" is scrawled in blood on the wall. Holmes's powers of deduction keep the plot engaging. Readers will also enjoy the flashback to the origins of the murder, which lends a heartbroken romanticism to the tale. Even though this mystery was originally published in a bygone era, the sinister plot will hook modern-day readers. Hand it to teens and expect them to come back for more literature from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Recommended for most public libraries.-Julie Shatterly, W. A. Bess Elementary School, Gastonia, NC

With spindly lines; whimsical, off-kilter perspective; and a playful balance of dark and light, Grimly's ink drawings and watercolor plates give a comic gothic vibe to Doyle's unabridged tale of murder, Mormons, and revenge. Sherlock Holmes, in Grimly's art, is long, lean, and angular while Watson is his portly foil. It's a brilliant, if non-canonical, visual study in contrasts.(Copyright 2015 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
