A Study in Scarlet is a mystery novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published in 1887. It is the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
The novel is written in two parts. The first part takes place mainly in London in the middle of the Victorian era, while the second part takes place in Utah, United States.
The story begins in 1878 with Dr. John Watson, who is retired due to an injury in the war in Afghanistan and later suffering from typhus disease. Watson, with financial problems, needs to move house and look for a cheaper one. One day he runs into an old friend named Stamford, who reveals to him that an acquaintance of his named Sherlock Holmes is looking for a roommate on 221 B Baker Street. That way Sherlock and Watson meet.
Initially Watson receives a bad impression on Sherlock Holmes, since he sees him as a very conceited and somewhat selfish guy. Little by little, as he gets to know him, he discovers that he is a true genius of deduction and not just an amateur.
Their adventures begin one day when they receive a message from Scotland Yard about a recent murder. Holmes and Watson set out to investigate it.
The book A Study in Scarlet is the first volume in the Sherlock Holmes series.
