Doyle, Arthur Conan

Sherlock Holmes in a Study in Scarlet

279 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-229375-6 $17.99
(3) YA Illustrated by Gris Grimly. With spindly lines; whimsical, off-kilter perspective; and a playful balance of dark and light, Grimly's ink drawings and watercolor plates give a comic gothic vibe to Doyle's unabridged tale of murder, Mormons, and revenge. Sherlock Holmes, in Grimly's art, is long, lean, and angular while Watson is his portly foil. It's a brilliant, if non-canonical, visual study in contrasts.
