The Hound of the Baskervilles
Book 5 of the Sherlock Holmes series
256 pages · First published 2001
The sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville revives an old family legend of a monstrous hound stalking the Devonshire moors. Sherlock Holmes investigates, sending Dr. Watson to Baskerville Hall to protect the heir, Sir Henry, and observe the uneasy household. An escaped convict, suspicious neighbors, and unexplained cries across Dartmoor make it increasingly difficult to separate superstition from a very real threat. Watson’s reports and Holmes’s deductions gradually expose connections beneath the apparently impossible mystery. Save this atmospheric classic for a fireside evening when you want a clever puzzle, an isolated country house, and fog-shrouded danger gathering beyond the windows.
