Anonymous reviewed A Study in Scarlet (Modern Library Classics) on
This book is great if you want to try Sherlock Holmes, but don't want to invest in the entire series. A Study in Scarlet is Doyle's first book featuring Holmes and Watson, and it's a great story. This particular edition is really nice as it has footnotes in the back to help explain some of the terms and slang that was used at the time. A thoroughly enjoyable mystery!
