A classic mystery novel for a reason. The narrative of Dr Watson is something pretty unique for a Sherlock story, as Holmes's absence allows for Conan Doyle to take a completely different route. The setting of the moor is also probably one of the best locations in a mystery thriller, and the author describes it beautifully and masterfully builds a threatening and creepy atmosphere. And of course, the resolution to the case is thrilling as always.
