  A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduces one of literature’s most famous detectives: Sherlock Holmes. 
   
  When Dr. John Watson arrives in London and begins sharing rooms with the mysterious and highly observant Sherlock Holmes, he soon discovers that his new companion possesses an extraordinary talent for solving crimes. Their first case together begins with a shocking murder, a cryptic message, and a trail of clues that seems impossible to piece together. As Holmes carefully examines the evidence, Watson watches his remarkable methods unfold for the first time. What follows is a gripping mystery filled with deduction, deception, revenge, and unexpected connections reaching far beyond the crime itself.  First published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet is the novel that introduced Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the world—and the beginning of one of the most enduring partnerships in detective fiction.

  A young musician, ill and exhausted, is taken up by a Chaldean mystic in Paris who explains that electricity is the medium of the soul, and offers a demonstration. Corelli outsold Wells, Kipling and Conan Doyle combined and was Queen Victoria's favorite; this was her first book, in 1886, and the electric theology in it was taken perfectly seriously by a great many intelligent readers. Sixty plates by Hammershøi and Munch, among others, dwell on figures at pianos and in quiet rooms, matching the novel's inward, music-haunted search for the soul.

  Here's what reviewers had to say: 
   
  "According to a twenty-something friend who recently immigrated to the U.S. from Russia, this 1927 satirical-comic novel is still so popular in Russia that not only has everyone read it (on their own—not in school!) but everyone quotes from it in their everyday speech." 
   
  "The funniest book ever written." 
   
  "A thousand kind of people are living in this book. Rich, poor, old, young, crafty, deceived, brave, coward, intellectual, ignorant... But the thing that brings them together is the same: pursuit of money. Ilf and Petrov successfully and colourfully portrays one of the most important passions of mankind - getting rich." 
   
  "An absolute masterpiece! This was an audiobook for me this time and while I have read it before the audio experience has just amplified my admiration to this book."
