Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland to an Irish Catholic family.
He studied medicine at Edinburgh University and in spite of colleagues such as Robert Louis Stevenson and J M Barrie, he was not entirely gripped by his studies there. An adventurer at heart, he spent a year in the middle of his studies as a ship’s surgeon on an Arctic whaler.
It was while he was practicing medicine in Portsmouth that he started writing
A Study In Scarlet, what was to be the first of the series of tales about the most famous detective of all time,
Sherlock Holmes.
A series of gruesome and unexplained murders in Victorian London leave the police baffled, but Sherlock Holmes has already solved the case using his brilliant detective skills.
Richard E Grant brings his famed eccentric wit to
A Study In Scarlet available as an unabridged audio book from
Silksoundbooks.
