Time for a thriller - IL Book Club

chillbreeze · Jan 13, 2015

Hello all, after starting the new year with a feel good book, its time for a mystery/thriller now (as many of you said). As there are only couple of weeks left for end of Jan, we have selected a small yet wonderful book.

I am sure Sherlock Holmes is one of our all time favorites and let us start reading about his brilliance in "A Study in Scarlet". Please download the book from the link below and start reading. Let's see if we can beat Sherlock with our collective ideas.

Hey Madhu, how about 7 chapters for this week (till sunday). BTW, the book doesn't seem to be in english. I translated the page using Google while reading online.

Yes CB, even I noticed it. I had downloaded both the mobi and pdf format. So I was wondering whether I had made a mistake.
How did u convert it using Google translate ? Did u do copy paste the page on the translator and then do it ?

HMA I too love thrillers.

Madhu, I didn't download it. I was reading online and it gave me an option do you want to translate it and it was translated to english. Can you google for the pdf. It is also available in gutenburg site.

Hi ILites,

Here is another link for you, A Study in Scarlet - Arthur Conan Doyle | Feedbooks

Hope this one works fine for you all.

This is the first book in the Sherlock Holmes series where Dr. Watson meets the famous sleuth and their exploits begin. Read and enjoy.

Hi ILites,

While waiting for the readathon I hope no one has forgotten the book club. How is the reading coming along?
I on a personal note, had a busy weekend so I couldn't finish the stipulated 7 chapters. I'm at the part where the "victim" has been discovered ( pretty much the beginning I think :hide: ). I hope to catch up within the next couple of days. What are statuses ladies?
