摘要《血字的研究》是英国著名小说家柯南•道尔于1887年所创作的推理小说，在本书中他设计了新的人物形象，“咨询侦探”夏洛克•福尔摩斯和他的朋友以及记录者约翰•华生医生。这两个人物后来成为著名的文学形象。
众所周知，美国作家爱伦•坡被誉为侦探小说的鼻祖，他于1841 年发表的《莫格街谋杀案》被公认为最早的侦探小说，深深地影响了其后的作家。从《血字的研究》中我们不难看出柯南•道尔对爱伦•坡的模仿，但在模仿的基础上柯南•道尔也有自己的创新和发展。
《血字的研究》作为柯南•道尔创作的第一部侦探小说，具有十分丰富的文本魅力。本文将着力探究《血字的研究》中的写作技巧，重点有两个，一是复杂精巧的叙事艺术，包括独特的叙事结构和不断变化的叙述视角，二是对爱伦•坡的借鉴和发展，包括在小说中引用媒体对案件的报道、侦探与警察的关系以及故事的叙述者。
侦探小说是智者的游戏， 读者通过侦探小说参与解密的过程。同时，侦探小说又是人性的书写，在谜底揭晓的那一刹那， 读者又可以通过它了解人最基本的欲望，体会生命的价值。
