a short book review A study in scarlet by sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the first novel featuring the most famous detective ever and his friend, Dr Watson. the story is set in the Victorian London in the late 19th century and it tells us two stories in the same plot,the first of them is how our sleuth and the doctor meet for first time, how they start to share room at the 21st of Baker St and build their friendship.The second one is the presentation of sherlock´s deductive abilities solvig a murderer.It can happen sometimes you feel a bit lost, but ust till holmes explain his dedcutions. It is an action-packed book, insightful and despite the fact that it is entertaining I would not cosider it to be one of the better holmes stories but is worth reading because of its role introducing characters and getting the canon started
