The Hound of the Baskervilles, which returned Sherlock Holmes to readers eight years after his apparent death at the hands of Professor Moriarty, is often considered the greatest mystery novel in the English language. It became Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous work and launched an improbable and incredibly successful second act for the world’s greatest detective.

There is a reason why Sherlock Holmes is so famous and this book is clearly a testament to it! The story is intricate, entertaining, intriguing... There are some cleverly constructed moments that left me at a loss for words or laughing with surprise and disbelief. Plus, when the mystery is solved, all of it makes sense, as all of the pieces had been laid in front of the reader throughout the book; so it doesn’t feel as if something was pulled out of the cuff to make ends meet. I'll definitely be reading additional Sherlock Holmes stories.

A masterclass in suspense and atmosphere. Conan doyle not only presents a seemingly supernatural mystery but grounds it in brilliant, logical deduction. Holmes is at his best, and the moor is a character in itself. Essential reading.
