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.

Hound brilliantly embodies the best of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries while also being a first-rate gothic horror story. Set in the haunting, primeval landscape of the moors in the West Country of England, Holmes and Watson must unravel bewildering clues and confront the centuries-old legend of a terrifying spectral black hound in foiling one of the most devilishly ingenious villains they’ll ever face.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Missed listening this story as I was daydreaming in school😂😂while teacher was explaining.Atlast I have read this book and no doubt this book gives a great glimpse of thrill😉😉.

Good mystery read, takes some imagination to enter Victorian England.
