Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel-and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson-is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly.

The year is 1881.

The city, London.

A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues-save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall above.

Elsewhere, two men-a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes-meet for the first time.

These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men's hearts as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr.

Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue.

Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction.

Today it is completely reimagined with artwork by the modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.

First published: 2015
Publishers: Balzer + Bray
Language: English

It's not clear from other reviews here whether or not we're all talking about the same edition of the book. I got the version with Gus Grimly's illustrations, and my five stars are tied specifically to those illustrations, which I loved.

To fill the time as I wait (endlessly) for a new episode of BBC America's Sherlock 9i am so obsessed), I decided to catch up on the original stories by Doyle. Great idea, right?

This was excellent. My first Sherlock Holmes story, and I'm completely impressed.
