In this classic mystery set in 19th-century England, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are faced with discovering the truth behind the curse on the wealthy Baskerville family.
What can I say? Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic and might possibly be the best of the Holmes stories. Perfectly crafted, and perfectly atmospheric, this is the kind of story that can be read again and again.
In fact, this is at least my third read and on this go-around I was much more able to admire the subtle clues and hints Conan Doyle wove through the tale. Although I do have one question: Dr. Mortimer's wife is mentioned several times in the story and I have to wonder how she felt about him traipsing off around the world without her?
If you like gothic, or mysteries, or just a good atmospheric thriller, you can't go wrong with this one.
