Book 1 of Sherlock Holmes
A Study in Scarlet
Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Synopsis
Dr John H. Watson meets the great detective Sherlock Holmes and together they solve a case of murder, in which Watson is amazed at Holmes' "science of deduction".
The novel is split into two quite separate halves. The first is titled "Being a Reprint from the Reminiscences of John Watson, M.D., Late of the Army Medical Department". This part is told in first person by Sherlock Holmes' friend Dr Watson, and describes his introduction in 1881 to Holmes through a mutual friend and the first mystery in which he followed Holmes' investigations. The mystery revolves around a corpse found at a derelict house in Brixton, London with the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall beside the body.

Mysteries of the Hounds Shadow
When the mists of Dartmoor thicken and the moon turns blood-red, death stalks the Baskerville estate once more. But this time, the hound that haunts the moor is no mere legend-it is a creature torn from the depths of Hell itself. After the demolition of an ancient forest to expand Baskerville lands, an old crone-known only as the Withered Widow-was cast out from her moss-grown hovel. In her anguish, she summoned a curse older than the stones of London itself. From her dying breath rose the Hounds of Hell, beasts of smoke and ember, bound to hunt the bloodline of those who defiled her sacred woods. Summoned to investigate the mysterious deaths surrounding the Baskerville heir, Sherlock Holmes, the master of cold reason, and Dr. John Watson, the weary soldier with a heart too human for the horrors he encounters, find themselves unraveling a mystery steeped in superstition and sin. In the decaying halls of Baskerville Hall, amidst candlelit corridors and whispers of the damned, logic begins to tremble before the touch of the infernal. The deeper Holmes and Watson delve, the more they must confront not only the evil that prowls the moor-but the darkness that stirs within their own souls. #1 in #ArthurConanDoyleComplete
A STUDY IN SCARLET (Completed)
A Study in Scarlet is a 1887 detective novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1886, the story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become two of the most famous characters in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, an amateur detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "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."

𝓜𝓮 & 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓮 ｟ BBC Sherlock ｠
The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right? Definitely. Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives? Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light. Well, might as well get started because... the game is on! ▇ ▇ ▇ Pairings: • (Sherlock Holmes x OFC) • (John Watson x OFC) Cover by Timelady2013Complete
