meliwriter 's review for:

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
3.0

My first literary experience with Holmes and Watson and I was left a little disappointed. While overall I found it an easy and enjoyable read there were parts of the mystery that were predictable to me and left me wanting more. I loved the characterization of Holmes and found the description of the setting to be entirely captivating, but did not care for the shifting narration of Dr. Watson. There were definitely moments of dread and suspense but they were slight and far between. I'm looking forward to reading more classic mysteries so that I might have a better point of reference.
