Краткое содержание в переводе на русский язык.

Этим летом я прочитала произведение Артура Конан Дойля "Шерлок Холмс. Этюд в багровых тонах".

В этой книге рассказывается о том, как Доктор Уотсон возвращается в Лондон и ищет недорогую квартиру. Его старый друг знакомит Уотсона с Шерлоком Холмсом, который ищет сожителя. Доктор Ватсон заинтересовался личностью Шерлока Холмса и они поделили квартиру (стали сожителями).

Вскоре инспектор полиции Грегсон сообщает Шерлоку Холмсу о произошедшем убийстве. Взяв Уотсона, сыщик прибывает на место преступления. Он замечает каждую деталь, с помощью которых вскоре раскрывает дело.

Пойманный убийца рассказывает свою историю:

Не дожив до суда, Хоуп умирает в тюремной камере.
