Emmy award-winning actor Sir Derek Jacobi reads the first story to feature Holmes and Watson ‘There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it’. Arriving in the wilderness of London and in need of lodgings, Dr John Watson finds himself living at 221B Baker Street with one Sherlock Holmes. When a corpse is discovered in a derelict house Watston, fascinated by his brilliant, eccentric companion, is soon drawn into Holmes’ investigations. There’s no sign of a struggle, no wounds on the body, yet scrawled in blood across the walls is the word ‘RACHE’ - revenge. Watson is baffled but, for Holmes, the game is afoot...

Customer Reviews

A Study in Scarlet is the first story that we are introduced to what was to become one of the world’s most famous crime-solving partnerships - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Criminal detective work has never looked the same since this crime fighting duo were unleashed into the world, and this unabridged audiobook version of the inaugural Holmes story involves a tale filled with revenge of the worst kind.

A man is found murdered in an empty house, but the body has no wounds and there seem to be very few clues left behind apart from a spine chilling message written in blood on the wall that simply reads RACHE (revenge). The story begins with Dr. Watson as he first arrives in the city of London looking for a place to live. 221B Baker Street becomes his home as Sherlock Holmes takes him under his wing, and Watson soon becomes involved in the case that only Holmes can decipher. Can Holmes get the clues he needs from an old oath made 20 years previously?

Join Holmes and Watson on their first adventure on CD and MP3 audiobook and get drawn into the exciting world of the eccentric twosome, which involves a wedding ring, a strange message and an old yet threatening promise.
