About This Novel
Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet was written in 1887. It was his first work to feature Sherlock Holmes as the protagonist. This story consists of two parts. The first part briefly introduces how Watson and Holmes met and the reason why they came into contact with the case; the latter part is Holmes' explanation of the ins and outs of the case - "another story". Holmes has a wide range of interests, is knowledgeable, and has strong logical analysis skills. "A Study in Scarlet" tells the story: One day, two detectives came to ask for help. A murder occurred in a suburban villa. The victim fell in a pool of blood, but there were no wounds on his body. The word "Revenge" was left on the wall. What was even more surprising was that there was a women's ring beside the deceased. Based on the information at the scene, Holmes deduced the general appearance of the murderer, and started with the women's ring to find the murderer. Another person was killed soon after, and the circumstances at the scene showed that the case was carefully designed by the murderer in order to enjoy the pleasure of revenge. With the help of the Bailey Street detective, the murderer Hope surfaced. The reason for all murders comes from one word: love. It turns out that Hope is from the western United States. Because his girlfriend was persecuted to death by the local Mormons, he went through all kinds of hardships and dangers to track the murderer and come to England to take revenge.
