LibriVox recording of A Study in Scarlet, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Study in Scarlet is a detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which was first published in 1887. It is the first story to feature the character of Sherlock Holmes, who would later become one of the most famous literary detective characters, with long-lasting interest and appeal. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes to his companion Doctor Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." (Summary from Wikipedia)

Subject: Not a big fan of the reading
I was not a big fan of the reading at all. There are several readers that change about every two chapters. I enjoyed maybe two readers out of the lot. The last reader was the worst. It was as though she was reading as fast as she could. I hated that. I had to really pay attention to catch all the fine details of Sherlock Holmes breaking down the case. It's a great book but I'd advise you to listen to a different recording.
