Holmes Trio: A Study in Scarlet, Mycroff Holmes & A Study in Scarlet Women

The Big Book Club Podcast from Arlington Public Library

For this episode we read three Holmes stories. The first is Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1887 original “A Study in Scarlet,” the first Sherlock Holmes work. The second is is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse’s 2015 “Mycroft Holmes,” and the third is “A Study in Scarlet Women,” by Sherry Thomas.

Reminder: this is a spoiler-filled podcast. So if you’re not into that kind of thing, read the texts first and come back later.
