mchester24 's review for:
The Hound of the Baskervilles
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Third of the four Sherlock novels from Doyle, and it’s definitely my favorite yet which is why I had to elevate to five stars (is it perfect? No. But it’s clear Doyle has hit his stride with Holmes and Watson and that deserves a star bump!)
I’m thinking about why this one stands out, I found myself extra compelled by things like the fact that they’re questioning whether the case involves super natural (really highlighting the Scooby Doo nature of the case— which I mean as a high compliment!), the more gothic and morose tone that grips you and paints quite the mental images, the series of the middle that is really only through Watson’s perspectives and experiences, and the classic story elements of romance, betrayal, deception, and having it all come crashing down.
I immediately sense that this will be a fun one to re-read, and I suppose that stands alone as high praise!
Once again, this all leaves me even more excited to keep going with the Sherlock Holmes dive!
