A review by cthib9
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

5.0

The best Sherlock Holmes novel.

Holmes and Watson are to investigate a devilish hound killing a noble family, which bordered on paranormal. It's fun to see Holmes squash those assumptions with cold, hard reality.

The book takes a turn when Holmes has a more important case to solve, and poor Watson must spend several weeks living in the client's wealthy estate making sense of the bizarre occurrences. The doctor shines given his position.

I haven't read such an enthralling tale in a long while, and this book makes it clear why Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle helped revolutionize the mystery genre. Another classic I wish I had read sooner.
