Review:
A legendary story from the Sherlock Holmes adventures and one which still lends itself to be adapted to modern situations and mysteries.
As is the case with all Sherlock mysteries , the reveal makes the reader feel how simple and elementary the solution was…if only….
A fun fact about this book though…Arthur Conan Doyle released this title after “killing off” Sherlock in his earlier book – The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It is said that Sir Arthur was forced into publishing a Sherlock mystery in response to the severe backlash he had faced from all and sundry for killing the hero in the earlier book. However, this was supposed to be a one off book and he did not intend to bring Sherlock back to life ever since he felt he had was done with the adventures and primarily wanted to concentrate on his non fiction writing career.
Still, Hound of the Baskervilles is a Classic in the true sense
