A scarlet thread of murder: A Study in Scarlet Discussion

Mortuary meet-cutes, the science of deduction, and murderous Mormans. Join Marisa and Sarah to discuss A Study In Scarlet - the story that famously introduced us to Holmes and Watson. Do you really know Sherlock Holmes like you think you might? What does this tale tell us about Holmes, Watson, and what’s coming in the following fifty-nine stories? And what’s the deal with the Mormons anyway? Question of the episode: What's your favorite adaption of how these two characters (or any versions of them) meet in fiction? Share it with us in a voice memo at [email protected], or let us know on Twitter.  Content warning: Discussion of murder and violence, and the death of an animal.
