Heh.... welppp

Bold move by Doyle to have Holmes basically disappear for almost a third of the book and have Watson do all the heavy lifting. Then again it does give Holmes a chance to reappear in the second half and be a real mischievous butt that I kinda admire.

Pretty good book. The only thing I didn’t like is that Holmes doesn’t appear for the majority of the book.

Read my review at Gator Book Chomp.

principio un poco ratata, pero ya en mitades del segundo capítulo holmes te engancha xd
los plot twists que hay son >>>>

Trevlig, klassisk pusseldeckare om en mystisk helveteshund som förföljer släkten Baskerville. Det var säkert tio år sedan jag läste Sherlock Holmes senast, men jag gillar den här deckarstilen trots att jag avskyr de flesta av dagens "polisdeckare" - både filmer, serier och böcker.

En trevlig liten berättelse som väcker nyfikenhet, även om karaktären Sherlock Holmes i mångt och mycket är en riktigt dryg jävel.

Dr. Mortimer: "It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull."

HA!!!

Perfectly paced, grabbed me into trying to deduce for myself what was happening on the way, I look forward to reading more of the Holmes' stories.

And I really enjoyed "The Whole Story" idea of this version - with photos, illustrations, and little tidbits in the margins to further pull readers into the story and give a greater understanding. Would be good to check out the many others in this series.
