ONLINE Classics Book Club: A Study in Scarlet

Join the library’s Classics Book Club online! We define a classic not by its specific time period, but by its staying power and recognized value to society and the literary canon. We will endeavor to include a diverse group of authors, across gender, race, nationality and sexuality.

This month’s book is instantly available on Hoopla in audiobook or ebook format!

Brought together by a mutual friend, Dr. Watson begins assisting his new roommate Holmes with his work as a "consulting detective". In helping the police with a vexing pair of murders, Holmes displays his uncanny ability to assemble deductions based on seemingly minor details of the crime. The story is told from Dr. Watson's perspective, who takes up the mission of describing Holmes' exploits when the police take the credit in the end for solving the crime.
