Ever wondered what happens when Sherlock Holmes faces a case that seems more like a ghost story than a crime? Well, *The Hound of the Baskervilles* by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will give you exactly that - a mystery that will make you question whether it's science or supernatural.
**Plot Summary**
The story is about the murder of Sir Charles Baskerville, a very influential old man who was murdered one night, which the locals considered to be supernatural. The Baskerville family is cursed to die at the hands of the hound living in the caves of the moor. The whole thing sounds crazy, but that's what makes it interesting.
**What Makes It Different**
Unlike other books by Sir Arthur, which are logic-based and based on real speculation, here Sherlock Holmes and his partner Watson go on an adventure to find the truth about a case that is considered to be supernatural. Sherlock and Watson took this case to solve and to prove that it is indeed an intended murder and not some superstition.
**My Opinion**
I enjoyed this book a lot, but I always love the way Sherlock finds ways to solve a case. What disappointed me in this story is that there is not much of Sherlock's activity in solving the case. The author could have made the story more technically detailed to make it more interesting. Despite this, it's also the most interesting one because of its unique supernatural angle.
**Final Rating**
**4/5 stars** - If you like mysteries with a supernatural twist, this one will keep you hooked, even though you might miss Sherlock's usual detective brilliance.

Honestly I get the Sherlock hype this stuff is good! Wanted to start with just one of the store before diving into the complete works. I truly don’t know how one comes up with all the details to even write like this. Chef’s kiss!
I expected more, to be completely honest.
I liked Sherlock's quirky, maybe even frantic behaviour, and I enjoyed observing all concepts of the Victorian novel.
My issue is that I guessed the killer, their means, their motive, literally everything before I even read the first half of the book. Mind you, I've never seen an on-screen adaptation or anything of The Hound of the Baskervilles, but maybe I'll give it a try, and who knows, perhaps I'll enjoy it more than I enjoyed this book.
The middle part of this book dragged on and on and on, and it felt like I was merely reading scrambled words. I could barely detect any meaning behind it. Could be that I just wanted to be in Sherlock and his personality's company, who knows.
For now, Sir Doyle, I'll stick to Agatha Christie, thank you!
